Trump introduces 30-day ban on arrivals from Europe to US
19:49
From midnight on Friday, all arrivals from Europe to the United States will be suspended for 30 days, US President Donald Trump said in a message on the coronavirus. The ban will not apply to Great Britain. In his speech, Trump said that the US is doing better than Europe in fighting coronavirus.
“The European Union has not taken the same precautions and travel restrictions from China and other hot spots," he said.
As a result, a significant proportion of coronavirus outbreaks in the US began with travelers from Europe.
In Trump's assessment, the United States has taken a good step by banning China from entering the US.
“We now need to do the same with Europe,” he said.
He called the ban on arrivals from Europe a "strong but necessary step"
