Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and United States President Joe Biden talked about the border between their two countries today while both are in England for an international leaders' summit.
As more people get vaccinated against the virus, both governments are facing questions as to how long the border will stay closed and whether more people will be allowed to cross this summer.
The official says Biden and Trudeau had a brief conversation where they discussed steps their countries are considering for a cautious reopening. The summit marks the first time the leaders have been able to meet in person since Biden took office after winning last fall's U.S. presidential election. The official says he and Trudeau also spoke about the arbitrary detention of two Canadian citizens in China.view larger image
