Canada, U.S. Agree to Workaround on Border-Security Dispute

OTTAWA—The U.S. and Canada said Tuesday they have reached a partial resolution over a yearslong border-security dispute that has disrupted plans for business travelers and others who frequently cross the border.

Details were released on the margins of the North American Leaders’ Summit in Mexico City. In a joint statement, the U.S. and Canada said the measures to be implemented would help clear a backlog of applications—peaking this past year at 330,000—related to the joint U.S.-Canada trusted traveler program called Nexus.
