transborder
Between two nations
Transborder means crossing or spanning national boundaries: transborder migration, transborder trade, transborder crime.
The term appears frequently in policy discussions about movement of people, goods, or information across international lines.
It emphasizes the crossing itself rather than what lies on either side.
