Michigan House speaker says delayed Gordie Howe Bridge opening shows promise for a new deal

The Gordie Howe International Bridge between Detroit and Ontario, Canada, will be delayed and won't open as planned next week. Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall stated the delay could help U.S. negotiators secure a better deal over ownership, financing, and tolls, rejecting the initial agreement that had Canada cover construction costs and tolls. President Donald Trump's push to secure U.S. toll revenue and trade tensions with Canada are complicating negotiations.
