(Forbes) - The U.S. may have lifted the Global Level 4 Health Advisory that had been in place since March, but Americans who want to travel abroad have very few options.

This reality is hammered home in a digital ad for Joe Biden airing on social media that begins with footage of President Trump saying, “We’re building the wall” and “Don’t even think about it,” before turning to a map that shows how virtually every country in the world has either banned or restricted Americans from visiting. The 19-second spot ends with two lines of copy: “Trump didn’t build a wall. The world built one around us.”

Biden’s ad highlights that American travelers have few choices these days. The high infection rate of COVID-19 across most of the United States continues to be a deal breaker for most of the world’s countries that have controlled the disease more successfully.

Canada has banned Americans from crossing the U.S.-Canada border for non-essential travel until late August at the earliest. An overwhelming majority of Canadians — 81%, according to a Globe and Mail survey — want the border to remain closed.
