WASHINGTON (AP) - The opening of a Canadian-U.S. bridge across the Detroit River that President Donald Trump previously threatened to block has been delayed due to "outstanding issues."

In a statement released Thursday ahead of a Friday ribbon-cutting ceremony at the bridge, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority says "Canada and the United States have agreed to delay the opening of the bridge, taking the necessary time to resolve any outstanding issues."

The Gordie Howe International Bridge is jointly owned by Canada and Michigan and was expected to open to traffic later this month.
