Trump's 50% Canada tariff kills joint bridge ceremony

Canada has pulled out of a planned joint ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Gordie Howe International Bridge after Trump announced a 50% tariff on most Canadian goods, accusing Canada of discriminating against US automakers. The bridge, which connects Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, had been a rare symbol of bilateral cooperation — making the cancellation a pointed diplomatic statement. The ceremony had been scheduled for Friday.
