The Gordie Howe International Bridge is a $4.7 billion ($6.4 billion Canadian) project named after the legendary hockey player. It will provide a passageway for travelers between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says he spoke to Donald Trump following threats the U.S. president made to prevent the new Gordie Howe International Bridge between Ontario and Michigan from opening.

"The billionaires won again," said Dingell of the president's threat and Moroun's lobbying campaign.
