8:23 a.m .: Donald Trump procrastinates
US President Donald Trump announced last night that he was finally giving up quarantining the states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, after raising the possibility earlier today and causing turmoil in the region. He finally has the national health authority, to disseminate a "firm" opinion dissuading movements to enter or leave these states, without closing their borders.
The American president thus closed a parenthesis that he had himself opened in the middle of the day, when he had mentioned the possibility of placing in quarantine the State of New York, while remaining elusive on the exact scope of this measure. These announcements had aroused great emotion in the New York region, whose political leaders had been taken by surprise. Asked about the possibility of a closure of the state borders decided by Washington, Governor Cuomo had warned, on CNN, that it was, according to him, an "illegal" decision, akin to "A declaration of war against the States" of the Union.
