OTTAWA — The U.S.-Canada border will stay closed to nonessential American travelers until at least early July, a senior Canadian official tells POLITICO.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government first priority is on loosening border measures for fully vaccinated Canadians and permanent residents returning from abroad, said the insider who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Border backdrop: Details on the border timeline are emerging as vaccination rates rise and Trudeau and President Joe Biden face growing pressure to start lifting restrictions for fully vaccinated travelers.

Canada-U.S. land crossings were shuttered March 2020 to nonessential travel in an effort to slow Covid-19’s spread.

1. Pressure is unequal

While President Biden may be facing mounting pressure, Prime Minister Trudeau is facing steady resistance from a majority of Canadians who wish to keep the border closed.
