## Resource

Canada’s Gordie Howe International Bridge is set to open July 27th — a major milestone connecting the两国 — but the celebratory kickoff is being scaled back. Amid tense U.S.-Canada trade tensions, officials have opted to skip a joint U.S.-Canada ribbon-cutting, instead holding a Canadian-only celebration on July 24th. The bridge stands ready, symbolizing completed infrastructure and cross-border cooperation — even if the fanfare is muted for now.
