The U.S. currently bars the entry of most non-U.S. citizens or permanent residents traveling from Britain, while U.S. visitors face a 10-day quarantine upon entering the U.K.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Just last week, Secretary Buttigieg and G7 Transport Ministers met to discuss the complexities around reopening international travel and how to do so safely.&quot; the U.S. Transportation Department said in a statement. &quot;These conversations are ongoing.
