Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he won’t be pressured to re-open the Canada-U.S. border until COVID cases are down.

He says he is going to be very cautious when it comes to re-opening in order to keep Canadians safe.

In a virtual meeting with the Assembly of First Nations, Trudeau said that opening the border too soon could be catastrophic.

The border is closed to non-essential travel until Dec. 21st, but the Prime Minister has indicated that the closure will likely be extended.
