US to reopen land borders next month for fully vaccinated: report
Fox News
After a 19-month freeze due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the US is set to announce that it will reopen land borders with Canada and Mexico next month for nonessential travel and demand all international visitors be fully vaccinated.
The U.S. announced in August that it would continue to ban nonessential travel despite Canada’s move to allow Americans who are fully vaccinated to enter. Officials in Canada criticized the decision, saying that the move created confusion. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also expressed some confusion at the time, but said every country gets to make its own decision regarding its border.
Senior administration officials previewed the new policy late Tuesday on the condition of anonymity to speak ahead of the formal announcement, the AP reported. The White House did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News.
