Prime Minister Mark Carney said Donald Trump’s threat to stall the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge will be resolved following a call with the U.S. president Tuesday.

“I explained that Canada paid for the construction of the bridge — $4 billion — that the ownership is shared between the state of Michigan and the government of Canada,” Carney told reporters in Ottawa before the weekly cabinet meeting.

The prime minister said he also told Trump that Canadian and American steel and workers were involved in the bridge’s construction.

In a social media post late Monday, Trump insisted the U.S. must be compensated before he’ll allow the bridge to open. He claimed the bridge was built with virtually no U.S. content.
