Canada to buy U.S.-built surface-to-air missiles for Ukraine, Biden to visit Canada in March
Canada and the United States have reached a workaround deal in a dispute over the popular Nexus trusted traveller system, and President Joe Biden will visit Canada in March.
Canada and the U.S. remain at odds over legal protections for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or CBP, officers who worked in Nexus offices in Canada. The Americans want the same protection for them as is guaranteed to U.S. preclearance officers at Canadian land crossings and airports under a 2019 binational agreement.
According to the Canadian official, the workaround will allow Canadian Nexus applicants to conduct their Canadian interview at a number of yet-to-be-announced Canadian airports, prior to a flight to the United States. When the applicant’s U.S.-bound flight lands in the United States, they would head to a U.S. customs office to complete their American Nexus interview.
Also at issue in the Nexus dispute is the Fast program, which makes cross-border commercial shipments simpler and subject to fewer delays. It was not immediately clear whether Canada would make such a commitment. A White House summary of the meeting said Mr. Biden and Mr. Trudeau agreed to co-ordinate with the United Nations Security Council on how to shore up the Haitian National Police.
