"The EU disapproves of the fact that the U.S. decision to impose a
travel ban was taken unilaterally and without consultation," the heads
of the European Union said Thursday, expressing their displeasure with
President Trump's plan to block visitors from 26 European countries from
entering the United States.
"The Coronavirus is a global crisis and requires cooperation," the EU leaders said.
European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen spoke out Thursday, the morning after Trump abruptly announced his 30-day ban — rattling an already-shaken travel industry and creating new uncertainty among travelers in both the U.S. and Europe. The United Kingdom is exempt from the ban.
Complicating matters further, Trump left many people scrambling to learn the extent of the ban, which takes effect at midnight Friday. The White House later said the ban applies only to foreign nationals who have been in Europe's open-border Schengen Area.
Note EU-Digest: the flagrant incompetence of the US Donald Trump Administration is very apparent in this totally confusing decision to block EU travelers entering the USA . By excluding Great Britain and Ireland from this ban it also shows that this decision has very little to do with the infectious Coronavirus disease. instead has all to do with protecting Donald Trumps Golf Course Resorts in Britain and Ireland. Hopefully the EU leadership will take aggressive counter action to counter this totally unnecessary and costly action by the Trump Administration. As a European parliamentarian said "the Trump Administration better get their Corona Virus testing program, which so far has been a total failure,with only 11.000 Americans tested operational, before they create more chaos around the world".
