The US and Canada have agreed to open the delayed Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit with Windsor, Ontario, by the end of July, following concessions made by Canada, Bloomberg reported Friday, citing Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's office and people familiar with the matter.
The agreement ends a standoff between the two countries after an earlier plan to open the bridge in June was postponed following an intervention by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who had pushed to renegotiate for a larger share of toll revenue, according to the report.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
