On June 13, 2025, President Donald Trump authorized the City of Laredo, Texas, to expand and maintain the vehicular border crossing at the Laredo-Colombia Solidarity International Bridge. This action aims to enhance commercial traffic capacity by adding two new 4-lane spans, potentially boosting trade and economic activity between the U.S. and Mexico. The permit requires compliance with federal, state, and local laws, including environmental regulations, and mandates coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other agencies, highlighting the legal and operational framework tied to international infrastructure projects.
