EU disapproves of U.S. unilateral travel ban on Europeans over COVID-19
Change language:
The European Union announced on Thursday it disapproves U.S. unilateral travel ban on Europeans over COVID-19 concerns.
Britain’s Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak said Thursday the travel ban imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump prohibiting trips from most of mainland Europe was not right.
Sunak, in media interviews a day after he presented a “coronavirus budget” in the House of Commons, said Britain would not be following the U.S. decision, adding the evidence does not support such a travel ban.
“Here in this country we’re determined to take the right steps at the right time,” he said.
Trump has excluded flights from Britain and Ireland in the ban he announced Wednesday night in Washington.
