WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) along with Sens. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Jon Tester (D-Mont.) Angus King (I-Maine), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) sent a letter to President JoeBiden urging his administration to allow vaccinated Canadians to travel to the U.S. through land ports of entry.

Noting the economic and familial strains caused by the continued restrictions at the U.S.-Canada border, the senators asked the president to lift travel restrictions before October, create a public plan to reopen land ports of entry to vaccinated Canadians and appoint an interagency lead to spearhead coordination.
