President Donald Trump told reporters Wednesday that a partial closure of the Southern border is imminent. The president made the announcement at a White House Coronavirus Task Force Briefing, as the administration tries to “blunt” the effect of the pandemic.

It was announced earlier Wednesday that the United States and Canada had mutually agreed that their shared border should be closed to all non-essential travel, to help stop the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which is also known as the novel coronavirus.
