Trucker protests: US pressing Trudeau to take action against border blockades

The White House is calling on Canada to use federal powers to bring an end to the trucker blockades at key Canada-U.S. border points as Prime Minister Trudeau and U.S. President Joe Biden are set to meet on Friday.

The anti-mandate protests in Canada are inspiring similar demonstrations across the world, including the U.S.

The protest initially sprung up in response to a federal rule that all Canadian truckers seeking to cross the border from the United States would need to be vaccinated in order to avoid a 14-day quarantine. But as the trucks rolled towards Canada's capital, their message became increasingly muddied.
