Sununu willing to trade vaccines for border reopening
Update: Thursday, June 3, 5:40 p.m.
With the summer tourism season fast approaching, Governor Chris Sununu says he’s been in talks with Canadian officials and other local governors about reopening the border. The decision is ultimately up to the governments of both countries, not local officials.
Sununu says he’s willing to share the state’s COVID-19 vaccine supply with Canada if it will help speed the border opening.
He said, “So if the Federal government and I’ve made this plea to Washington, we’re waiting to hear from the president, can we give our vaccine to Canada? Will that help open the border?”
