U.S. – Canada border not expected to re-open anytime soon

WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) — Don’t expect the U.S.-Canada border to re-open anytime soon.

The agreement between the U.S. and Canada to limit border crossings to essential travel is due to expire April 19, but Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says relaxing border restrictions is still a long way off.

President Trump says the U.S. and Canada are “doing well” amid the coronavirus pandemic and he says the U.S.-Canada border will be among the first borders to open.
