WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The opening of\u00a0a Canadian-U.S. bridge\u00a0across the Detroit River that President Donald Trump previously threatened to block was delayed on Thursday due to \u201coutstanding issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement released before a Friday ribbon-cutting ceremony at the bridge, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority said that \u201cCanada and the United States have agreed to delay the opening of the bridge, taking the necessary time to resolve any outstanding issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gordie Howe International Bridge, jointly owned by Canada and Michigan, was\u00a0expected to open to traffic later this month.<\/p>\n

The bridge\u2019s opening had remained in question for months after Trump, a Republican, in February demanded that Canada turn over at least half the ownership of the bridge to the U.S. federal government and agree to other unspecified demands in one of his many salvos over cross-border trade issues.<\/p>\n

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney hinted Wednesday that the opening could be delayed, while downplaying any concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no big drama. If it takes a little longer it will take a little bit longer, but this will benefit Canadians, Americans, business, tourists, residents for decades and decades to come,\u201d Carney said on his way into Parliament.<\/p>\n

Invitations for the bridge\u2019s opening went out this week following a conversation between Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThis project is a powerful example of bipartisan and international cooperation, and the governor looks forward to attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony when it happens,\u201d a statement from Whitmer spokesperson Bobby Leddy said.<\/p>\n

The bridge, which connects Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, would be a vital economic artery between Canada and the United States. It is named after the late Canadian hockey great, who spent 25 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings.<\/p>\n

The construction project was negotiated by Rick Snyder, the former Republican governor of Michigan, and paid for by Canada to help ease congestion at the existing Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor tunnel. Work has been underway since 2018.<\/p>\n
