Canada US Border ClosureOTTAWA — An agreement has been reached between Canada and the United States to keep the border closed to all non-essential travel for another month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced.

The extension on the existing agreement means that the border restrictions will stay in place until June 21, even as parts of both countries begin gradually reopening.

“This is an important decision that will keep people in both of our countries safe,” Trudeau said on Tuesday.
