I have not raised the issue of travel restrictions based on vaccine status with my counterpart, the US Secretary of State. On 10 June 2021, in the UK - US joint statement signed by the then Prime Minister, the Rt Hon. Boris Johnson MP and President Biden, the UK and US announced the creation of an Experts Working Group on Travel. This group shared expertise and provided recommendations to leaders on the return of safe international travel. This group has discussed travel restrictions based on vaccine status.
