- US, Canada strike deal to open bridge linking Detroit and Windsor after dispute ...
The United States and Canada have reached a deal to open a new multibillion-dollar bridge linking Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, ending a dispute that delayed the project’s launch.The Gordie-Howe International Bridge will now open on July 27 and become the fourth crossing between Detroit and Canada.The 1.5-mile bridge was originally supposed to open last month. The Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority said on June 11 that the U.S. and Canada had agreed to put off the opening to "resolve any outstanding issues."President Donald Trump — who earlier this year threatened to block the bridge's opening unless the U.S. had an ownership stake in it — announced on Truth Social early on Saturday that he "was able to cut a MUCH BETTER DEAL for America."CANADA'S PRIME MINISTER REFERS TO US ECONOMIC TIES AS A WEAKNESSThe original deal for the "new and spectacular" bridge was "unacceptable to me," Trump wrote in his post."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 concluded.On Friday, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority said the U.S. and Canada agreed to a "series of cooperative measures" related to how tolls would be charged to drivers.Both sides agreed that half of the net profit the bridge generates will go to a regional development fund, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a Canadian official.FIERCE TRUMP CRITIC MAKES STUNNING ADMISSION ON DEFENSE SPENDING: ‘HE HAS WON THE ARGUMENT’The original deal stipulated that all toll revenue would go to Canada until it recovered the approximately 6.4 billion CAD it cost to build the bridge. Construction began in 2018 and Canada agreed to foot the entire bill.The Canadian official also told The Journal that the bridge authority will need U.S. approval before raising tolls by 10% or more. Approval would also be needed if the authority were to cut tolls below what is charged for comparable crossings, such as Ambassador Bridge, the official said.Fox News Digital reached out to the White House, the Canadian Prime Minister's Office and the bridge authority for comment on the terms of the new deal.CANADA'S CARNEY PLEDGES ACTION ON ANTISEMITISM AMID BACKLASH OVER NEW ANTI-HATE COUNCIL MEMBERSIn a statement on Friday, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer celebrated the opening of the bridge, which will be co-owned by her state and Canada.

It comes as many young adults face high living costs, uncertainty in the labor market and growing pressure to make financially responsible choices."I think my generation is more open about everything. I mean, we've grown up posting online, our relationships, our friendships, our college lives. It makes sense that this is sort of the next frontier where people are documenting their budgets and their financial lives," Koch said.While talking openly about money does not guarantee better financial decisions, Koch argued that greater awareness could help younger people take more ownership of their finances, particularly as many schools provide limited education in economics, accounting and basic money management.WHY GEN Z IS SAYING 'NO' MORE OFTEN – AND SAVING MORE MONEY"I think at least it gets the conversation started," Koch said, "Some awareness is a positive development, especially in an economy that feels very uncertain as young people enter a labor market that could be wrecked by the prospect of AI."Salary discussions may be the next barrier to fall as online culture continues to challenge the traditional norms surrounding money.GEN Z SHOPPERS HELPING REVIVE AMERICA’S MALLS WITH PUSH FOR IN-PERSON EXPERIENCES"You don't talk about politics or money at the dinner table. So we'll see if that starts to change," Koch said. [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago
