The Beyond the Border initiative outlines a vision for perimeter security and economic competitiveness whereby the United States and Canada work together within, at, and away from our borders to achieve enhanced security and expedite lawful trade and travel between our two countries. Since the agreement was signed in 2011, the governments of the United States and Canada have worked together in a concerted way to advance our shared interests in perimeter security and economic competitiveness, achieving results that will improve the lives of residents, visitors and businesses in both our countries.
