Delayed opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge would cost Canadian and US taxpayers, while indirectly affecting the auto industry, according to an analysis that follows President Trump’s threat to block the crossing.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge, expected to open early this year, was built by Canada to ease cargo transport between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario.

President Donald Trump threatened Monday to block the opening of a new bridge connecting the US and Canada, again lashing out at his country’s northern neighbor over a range of economic issues as the rift between Washington and Ottawa deepens.
