唐纳德·特朗普总统威胁要阻止密歇根州与安大略省之间一座桥梁的开通，这是美国与其北部邻国之间持续紧张关系的最新导火索。
据项目背后的机构称，Gordie Howe 国际大桥——一条连接底特律和安大略省温莎市的六车道桥梁，建设成本约为 47 亿美元——自 2018 年起开始施工，预计今年初开通。
周一，特朗普在 Truth Social 帖子中表示，他“不会允许”该桥开通，声称加拿大“几十年来一直非常不公平地对待美国”，并且美国不会从该项目中受益。
“在美国得到充分补偿之前，我不会允许这座桥开通，而且重要的是，加拿大要以我们应得的公平和尊重对待美国，”他说。
“我们将立即开始谈判。鉴于我们为他们所做的一切，我们或许至少应该拥有这座资产的一半。”
这座以传奇加拿大冰球运动员 Gordie Howe 命名的桥梁被温莎-底特律桥梁管理局称为“一代人一次的工程”。它将设有美国和加拿大入境口岸以及连接密歇根州道路网络的互通式立交桥。
该桥由加拿大政府资助，但由加拿大和密歇根州政府共同拥有，相关条款在 2012 年的《过境协议》中明确规定。
加拿大商会总裁兼首席执行官坎迪斯·莱恩表示，无论这一威胁是真实的还是试图制造不确定性，“封锁或阻碍桥梁通行都是自毁长城的举动”。
“前进的道路不是解构已建立的贸易走廊，而是真正地搭建桥梁，”她在发给多家媒体的电子邮件声明中表示。
目前尚不清楚特朗普将如何能够推迟或阻止该项目开通。这一投诉是他对加拿大和总理马克·卡尼发动的一系列打击中的最新一次，破坏了这两个盟友之间传统上密切的关系。
上个月，特朗普威胁要撤销对加拿大制造飞机的认证并征收关税，此举引发了人们对美国航空旅行产生广泛影响的担忧。他还在达沃斯世界经济论坛上与卡尼在国际舞台上交锋，并随后撤销了邀请加拿大加入“和平委员会”的邀请，特朗普声称该机构将解决全球冲突。
温莎市长德鲁·迪尔肯斯告诉加拿大广播公司，特朗普的帖子“疯了”，因为密歇根州一侧的桥梁建设使用了美国钢材。
“我真不敢相信我看到的内容，”迪尔肯斯说，“我们越快进入中期选举，希望看到变化，对我们所有人都越好。”
美国参议员埃莉萨·斯洛特金（密歇根州民主党人）表示，特朗普威胁要破坏桥梁项目意味着他是“因为他发起的贸易战而惩罚密歇根人”。
“加拿大之所以即将与中国达成贸易协议，唯一的原因是特朗普总统一年来一直在打压他们，”她在 X 平台上发文称。
“总统的报复议程不应优先于对我们最有利的事情。加拿大是我们的朋友——不是我们的敌人。我将尽我所能让这个关键项目重回正轨。”
周二早些时候，加拿大政府、温莎-底特律桥梁管理局和白宫未立即回应置评请求。
Trump threatens to block opening of bridge between U.S. and Canada

As the Gordie Howe bridge neared its completion, Trump, in his latest salvo against Canada, suggested he would “not allow” it to open, saying Canada had treated the U.S. “very unfairly.”

President Donald Trump has threatened to block the opening of a bridge between Michigan and Ontario, the latest flash point in the simmering tensions between the United States and its northern neighbor.
The Gordie Howe International Bridge — a six-lane bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, that has cost about $4.7 billion to build — has been under construction since 2018 and is due to open early this year, according to the organization behind it.
On Monday, Trump said he “will not allow” it to open in a post on Truth Social, claiming that Canada had treated the U.S. “very unfairly for decades” and that the U.S. would not benefit from the project.
“I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve,” he said.
“We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset.”
The bridge, named after legendary Canadian ice hockey player Gordie Howe, has been labeled a “once-in-a-generation undertaking” by the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority. It is set to have U.S. and Canadian entry ports and an interchange connecting to Michigan’s road network.
It is financed by the Canadian government but is publicly owned by the governments of Canada and Michigan, with terms outlined in a 2012 Crossing Agreement.
Candace Laing, president and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, said regardless of whether the threat is real or an attempt at creating uncertainty, “blocking or barricading bridges is a self-defeating move.”
“The path forward isn’t deconstructing established trade corridors, it’s actually building bridges,” she said in an emailed statement to multiple media outlets.
It was unclear how Trump would be able to delay or block the project from opening. The complaint is the latest in a string of blows he has leveled at Canada and Prime Minister Mark Carney, rupturing the traditionally close relationship between the two allies.
Last month, Trump threatened to decertify and impose tariffs on Canadian-built aircraft in a move that sparked fears of wide ramifications for U.S. air travel. He also traded barbs with the Carney on the world stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos, and later revoked his invitation for Canada to join the Board of Peace, an entity that Trump has claimed will resolve global conflicts.
Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that Trump’s post was “insane,” as U.S. steel was used in construction on the Michigan side of the bridge.
“I really can’t believe what I’m reading,” Dilkens said. “The faster we can get to the midterms and hopefully see a change, the better for all of us.”
U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Michigan) said Trump’s threats to tank the bridge project meant he was “punishing Michiganders for a trade war he started.”
“The only reason Canada is on the verge of a trade deal with China is because President Trump has kicked them in the teeth for a year,” she wrote in a post on X.
“The President’s agenda for personal retribution should not come before what’s best for us. Canada is our friend — not our enemy. And I will do everything in my power to get this critical project back on track.”
The Canadian government, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment early Tuesday.
