'Canada and the United States will temporarily restrict all non-essential travel across the Canada-U.S. border,' Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said
WASHINGTON/NEW YORK - The United States and Canada closed their shared border to “non-essential traffic” on Wednesday as U.S. President Donald Trump moved to hasten medical equipment production and said hospital ships would be deployed in the battle against the coronavirus.
Wall Street extended a four-week plunge in the face of deepening concerns about a public health crisis that has paralyzed large sectors of the U.S. economy and led to fears of a global recession. To help alleviate an expected shortage of sick beds, Trump said two hospital ships would be pressed into service, one to New York, the other on the West Coast.
The two nations share one of the world’s largest trading relationships, and their economies are highly integrated. “Let’s maintain the public health. We’ll figure out the economy afterwards,” Cuomo told a news conference.“In the next few days and weeks we’ll have a disruption of supplies - beer, water, soda. One of our wholesalers has already shut,” said Ibrahim Yacop, 36, owner of 7 Days Liquor in Glendale, California.
