New York – European Union countries eager
to revive their economies are prepared to block Americans from
entering because the United States has failed to control the
coronavirus pandemic, The New York Times reported from Brussels
on Tuesday, citing draft lists of acceptable travellers.
The United States, which has the most coronavirus cases in
the world and is experiencing a surge in new infections, would
be in the same category as No 2 hot spot Brazil and Russia,
according to the Times, citing the proposal.
In March, when cases were rising in Europe, Trump banned
most EU citizens from entering the United States in a bid to
curb the outbreak.
Reuters was not immediately able to reach the White House
for comment.
