The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical,&#8221; the president added.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump criticized Canada, saying Ontario won&#8217;t put U.S. alcoholic products on its shelves and complaining of Canadian tariffs on U.S. dairy products, calling it &#8220;unacceptable.&#8221; The president also claimed that Prime Minister Mark Carney is trying to make a deal with China. Mr. Trump says Canada has treated the U.S. &#8220;unfairly for decades&#8221; and the bridge was being built with no U.S. content, such as steel.<\/p>\n<p>CBS News Detroit contacted the White House and Carney&#8217;s office for additional comment and is waiting to hear back. CBS News Detroit also contacted the Windsor\u2013Detroit Bridge Authority for comment and has not yet heard back.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/06\/28\/c46a2b43-3d73-4b7e-a8bb-c8960c558866\/thumbnail\/620x349\/feacfeb3abdd3e7687082ab51a53c7c9\/gordie-howe-bridge.jpg#\" alt=\"gordie-howe-bridge.jpg \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/06\/28\/c46a2b43-3d73-4b7e-a8bb-c8960c558866\/thumbnail\/620x349\/feacfeb3abdd3e7687082ab51a53c7c9\/gordie-howe-bridge.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/06\/28\/c46a2b43-3d73-4b7e-a8bb-c8960c558866\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/78c3f91730efc6efdc37d5e02e457204\/gordie-howe-bridge.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Work on the new Gordie Howe International Bridge continues as it is slated to open in 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Windsor\u2013Detroit Bridge Authority<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In an emailed statement to CBS News Detroit, Candace Laing, president and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>&#8220;<\/em>Whether this proves real or simply threatened to keep uncertainty high \u2014 blocking or barricading bridges is a self-defeating move.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Through decades of collaboration, Canada and the United States build things together, create jobs together and compete globally together.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Trump administration was right in 2017 in its joint statement that endorsed the bridge as a priority project, calling it a &#8216;vital economic link between our two countries.&#8217; Modern border infrastructure strengthens shared economic security.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The path forward isn&#8217;t deconstructing established trade corridors, it&#8217;s actually building bridges.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The bridge has been under construction since 2018 and is <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/detroit\/news\/gordie-howe-international-bridge-expected-to-open-in-early-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">expected to open in early 2026<\/a><\/span>. It is jointly owned by Canada and the state of Michigan, with Canada financing the $5.7 billion project. The Canadian government planned to recoup the funding through toll revenue.<\/p>\n<p>The bridge is intended to provide another route across the busy international border area between Michigan and Ontario, especially for commercial trucks. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The other Detroit-Windsor crossings are the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The bridge includes an 853-meter span over the Detroit River, along with two approach bridges, port of entry complexes in the United States and Canada, and connection points to existing highways.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin released the following statement:\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The Gordie Howe Bridge is an incredibly important infrastructure project for Michigan. President Trump&#8217;s threat tonight to tank it is awful for our state&#8217;s economy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Canceling this project will have serious repercussions. Higher costs for Michigan businesses, less secure supply chains, and ultimately, fewer jobs. With this threat, the President is punishing Michiganders for a trade war he started. The only reason Canada is on the verge of a trade deal with China is because President Trump has kicked them in the teeth for a year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The President&#8217;s agenda for personal retribution should not come before what&#8217;s best for us. Canada is our friend &#8212; not our enemy. And I will do everything in my power to get this critical project back on track.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Michigan&#8217;s other U.S. senator, fellow Democrat Gary Peters, \u00a0also issued a statement, saying,\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;This statement from the President is completely backwards. Michigan&#8217;s economy is highly integrated with Canada and the Detroit-Windsor corridor is one of the busiest border crossings for trade in our entire country. We&#8217;ve wanted this bridge for years because it will be a boon for our economy. This is another case of the President undermining Michigan businesses and workers.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p
