WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) - The U.S. and Canada have decided to delay the opening of a new $4.7 billion bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, that was set to open in the coming days after ‌U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this year threatened to block the crossing.

A formal ribbon-cutting had been planned for ‌Friday for the Gordie Howe International Bridge, according to invitations seen by Reuters.
