White House Lifts Ban For Land Travel From Canada, Mexico

The US has reopened its borders to fully vaccinated foreign travelers, ending a 19-month travel freeze. This move aims to reunite separated families and boost the local economy, which has suffered significant losses, particularly in tourism.

Initially, the vaccine mandate applies to nonessential travelers, but it will extend to essential travelers like truckers by January.
