Washington D.C. [US], Mar 19 (ANI): Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke to US President Donald Trump regarding the coronavirus outbreak and said they have agreed to restrict all non-essential travel across the Canada-US border.
"I spoke with @POTUS Trump this morning about what we can do to slow the spread of COVID-19. We have agreed to restrict all non-essential travel across the Canada-US border. If you are already visiting the US, you will be allowed to come back home - please do so," Trudeau said in a tweet.
"At the same time, we will make sure essential travel is not affected and supply chains are not interrupted - so vital goods like food, fuel, and medicines can still cross the border," Trudeau said in another tweet.
Earlier, President Trump tweeted: "We will be, by mutual consent, temporarily closing our Northern Border with Canada to non-essential traffic. Trade will not be affected. Details to follow!"
