President Donald Trump has threatened to block the opening of a bridge connecting the US and Canada until Washington is "fully compensated for everything" it has given to its northern neighbour.
The Gordie Howe International Bridge, connecting the Canadian province of Ontario to the US state of Michigan, would not open until Ottawa "treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve", Trump wrote on social media.
In the statement on his Truth Social platform, Trump said that the US should own "at least one half of this asset". He also suggested that Canada owned both the Canadian and US sides of the bridge.
