Mark Carney Clarifies Terms of U.S.-Canada Bridge Deal After Contradictions

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's former economic advisor, Mark Carney, admitted he could have explained the details of the Canada-U.S.bridge deal better after initial contradictions arose between his public statements and official documents.

The agreement outlines that Canada will receive 50% of the revenue generated from the Gordie Howe International Bridge for its first 15 years of operation, with debt servicing costs not included in the calculation.Carney's remarks came amid political tensions as U.S.President Donald Trump had previously blocked the bridge's opening due to trade disputes.The deal, which involves a $3.7 billion project spanning the Detroit River, was finalized after months of negotiations.
