President Donald Trump said he was able to secure a "much better deal" for the U.S. compared to the original one for the Gordie Howe International Bridge project.

Trump confirmed that the Gordie Howe International Bridge that connects Ontario to Michigan will open July 27.

"I was able to cut a MUCH BETTER DEAL for America, and by so doing, will be allowing the new and spectacular Gordie Howe International Bridge, spanning Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, to open on July 27th, as scheduled," he wrote on social media.

"The original deal made was unacceptable to me! The new deal is great, and fair. Thank you and congratulations to the Canadian Government. May we both have many years of success with this wonderful new development!!!" he added.
