Trump: US, Canada temporarily shut border to 'non-essential traffic'

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to hold a press conference in Ottawa later Wednesday.
Trudeau has been under increasing pressure domestically to shut down the border to non-essential travellers given the much faster pace of the Covid-19 outbreak in the US.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Tuesday the two countries were coordinating their response to the pandemic and measure at the border.
