President Donald Trump spoke to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday and made clear his position that it's "unacceptable" that Canada will "control" what crosses a new bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Tuesday.

Trump believes that the U.S. should own at least half of the Gordie Howe International Bridge and have shared authority over what crosses it, Leavitt said. Earlier on Tuesday, Carney said he told Trump that ownership of the bridge is shared between the state of Michigan and the government of Canada.
