Reopening the U.S.-Canada Border

Senator Chuck Schumer is calling for the US to drop all travel restrictions on vaccinated Canadians if an agreement to reopen the border isn’t reached in the coming weeks.

Schumer spent the first workday after the July 4th weekend visiting border communities across the North Country.

Speaking in Sackets Harbor, the Senate Majority Leader said Canada has had ample opportunity to develop a plan for easing border restrictions, and called for the Biden Administration to take unilateral action if travel doesn’t resume soon.
