Country will reopen to vaccinated travellers from Monday

The United States will officially open its borders to fully vaccinated travellers from Monday after being shut off from most of the world for 20 months.

The ban was imposed by former President Donald Trump as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and applied to visitors from over 30 countries.

Apart from keeping loved ones apart, the ban has also had major negative impacts on the nation’s tourism industry.

Airlines are eagerly awaiting an influx of travellers from Monday, with fully vaccinated individuals required to undergo testing and contact tracing upon entry to the States.

United Airlines says it expects a 50 percent increase in international inbound passengers… with Delta’s chief executive warning travellers to expect queues.

He says “it’s going to be a bit sloppy at first. I can assure you, there will be lines, unfortunately.”

The previous rules barred entry to most non-U-S citizens who had been in the U-K, much of Europe, China, India, South Africa, Iran and Brazil.

There will be no quarantine requirements for arrivals.

Russia strengthens ties with China following Trump’s positive meeting with Xi Jinping, aiming for deeper cooperation across various sectors

In Short:
– Russian officials emphasise their alliance with China after Trump’s meeting with Xi Jinping.
– Prime Minister Mishustin’s visit to China aims to strengthen trade and cooperation between the two nations.

Russian officials reaffirmed their alliance with China following U.S. President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin arrived in Hangzhou for two days of negotiations, signing various agreements to enhance cooperation in trade, investment, energy, transport, agriculture, and space, according to Russian state media.

Mishustin described his Chinese counterpart as a “dear friend,” stating that Russian-Chinese relations are at their peak despite Western sanctions. Li Qiang reciprocated by expressing Beijing’s readiness to strengthen ties, noting mutual support amid external risks and challenges.

Strategic Partnership

China remains Russia’s most important ally, having not condemned the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and echoes Russia’s language, referring to the situation as a “crisis.”

Ahead of this visit, the Kremlin highlighted the significance of the talks, sending a robust delegation, including top officials from finance, agriculture, space, and nuclear energy.

Mishustin’s visit coincides with Trump’s recent discussions with Xi, where agreements were reportedly reached on several issues in a gesture seen as a trade truce amidst rising tariffs.

Trump’s engagement with China contrasts with his lack of progress in talks with Russia, which he attributed to frustrations over the Ukraine conflict. This context may indicate Russia’s unease regarding China’s positive interactions with the U.S.
