Economía · tariff war · ArchivoCanadá excluye a EE. UU. de la fiesta de su propio puenteEscrito 7 de septiembre de 2026 a las 21:22 UTCVerTranscripción0:00Canada has canceled the planned joint0:02ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Gordie0:04Howe International Bridge, the span0:05connecting Windsor, Ontario to Detroit,0:08after President Trump signed 50% tariffs0:10on Canadian goods. What was once a0:12symbol of cross-border partnership is0:14now a concrete casualty of an escalating0:16trade war. The bridge was announced back0:18in 2012 by former Prime Minister Stephen0:20Harper and then Michigan Governor Rick0:22Snyder as a shared gateway between the0:24two countries. It was largely funded by0:26Canada. Now, with the US out of the0:29celebration, Canada will hold a solo0:31event on the Windsor side.0:32Infrastructure Minister Gregor0:34Robertson's office confirmed the0:36cancellation saying American officials0:38will not take part in the ceremony. The0:40bridge remains on track to open to0:42traffic soon, but the diplomatic rift is0:44now impossible to ignore. The0:46cancellation comes as Trump's 50%0:48tariffs take effect, escalating a trade0:50dispute that has already drawn0:51retaliation from Prime Minister Mark0:53Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford.0:55The bridge was meant to open by July of0:572026. Construction continues, but the1:00partnership that built it has clearly1:01fractured. For decades, the1:03Windsor-Detroit corridor has been the1:05busiest commercial border crossing1:06between Canada and the United States.1:09This bridge was supposed to ease that1:10flow. Instead, its opening celebration1:13now reflects the growing distance1:15between the two neighbors.Leer el artículoCronología de la historiaHeyDexEl vídeo breve ↗
