President Trump announced plans to immediately begin negotiations with Canada regarding bilateral issues, especially focusing on recent grievances over trade and infrastructure projects. He criticized the Gordie Howe International Bridge project between Ontario and Michigan, highlighting that Canada owns both sides of the bridge and received a waiver to bypass the Buy American Act, which would have required the use of American materials. This issue is compounded by longstanding US concerns about Canadian tariffs on American products, such as dairy, prompting calls for renewed fairness and compensation in trade relations.
