The United States and Canada have reached an official agreement to open the Gordie Howe International Bridge later this month, which connects Detroit, Michigan, to Windsor, Ontario, and ending months of delays.

President Donald Trump announced the agreement over the weekend, stating he had reached an "even better deal" for the United States. Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority have also confirmed the agreement. 

"The original deal made was unacceptable to me," Trump posted to Truth Social on Saturday. "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."

A Canadian official told the Wall Street Journal that both sides have agreed that half of the net profit the bridge generates will go to a regional development fund, and the bridge authority will need U.S. approval before raising tolls by 10% or more. Canada will also need approval to lower tolls below what is charged for comparable crossings.

The bridge was initially expected to open earlier this year but faced multiple delays over the U.S. side of the deal, and Canada's relationship with China.

The bridge will now open July 27 and be maintained by Canada.
