Europe may issue travel ban to Americans because of rapid spread of the coronavirus in the US

The European Union is planning to reopen its borders on July 1, allowing some travelers in for the first time since it closed them as the coronavirus pandemic began to grow in March.

However, Americans might not be welcome.

The EU is considering barring Americans from entering the bloc because the United States has not adequately controlled the spread of COVID-19, according to a report from the New York Times, which viewed two drafts of a list defining which travelers would be allowed and which would be barred.

    Not just Europe. Any country that is concerned about the safety of their citizens should bar anyone who has been in the US within the previous 14 days from entering their country. They have a right to be stupid and infect themselves, but other countries should not be affected by their stupidity.

      You are right on Trump mister Fox but don’t lump him with Lennox Linton who has a far superior intelligence than Trump for a start.
