U.S. Pushing Singapore to Let American Visitors Enter Freely​

American officials are pushing the Singapore government to open a travel lane so visitors from the U.S. can enter the city-state with the same sort of freedoms travelers from Singapore get in the U.S., according to people familiar with the matter.

Singapore Trade Minister Gan Kim Yong said Monday that travel corridors could be formed with several countries and regions including the U.S. and Europe this year, but for now arrivals from most places face mandatory quarantine.

U.S. officials are emphasizing the trade and investment relationship as a reason why a travel lane should be prioritized, and arguing that the current curbs are inhibiting business and causing emotional distress for American expatriates, the people said, asking not to be named as they aren’t authorized to speak publicly. The U.S. is Singapore’s biggest foreign investor.
