Biden Rejects Trump Plan to Rescind EU, U.K., Brazil Travel Bans

Source: Bloomberg

(Bloomberg) -- President-elect Joe Biden’s incoming administration rejected a move by President Donald Trump to rescind coronavirus-related travel bans for non-American citizens arriving from the European Union, the U.K. and Brazil, which means the curbs will stay in effect.

Trump said in a White House announcement Monday that the bans could be lifted because of a decision last week by the administration to require international travelers to present either the results of a negative recent coronavirus test or evidence that they had already recovered from the disease. The change would go into effect starting Jan. 26, six days after Biden takes office.

But Jen Psaki, a spokeswoman for Biden, said the incoming administration plans to block Trump’s move.

“On the advice of our medical team, the Administration does not intend to lift these restrictions on 1/26. In fact, we plan to strengthen public health measures around international travel in order to further mitigate the spread of COVID-19,” she tweeted.

Wise decision. Don't let that monster burn down the house on his way out. Try to keep damage to a minimum if possible.
