Europe Condemns Trump’s Travel Ban

The European Union issued a scathing statement condemning President Trump’s decision to ban most travel from Europe, the New York Times reports.

From the statement: “The coronavirus is a global crisis, not limited to any continent and it requires cooperation rather than unilateral action. The European Union disapproves of the fact that the U.S. decision to impose a travel ban was taken unilaterally and without consultation.”

Washington Post: “Of all the slights between Washington and Europe in recent years, the new travel restrictions had all the makings of a historic rupture.”
