China News Service, November 26. According to a Reuters report on the 25th, a number of US officials and airline officials revealed that the White House is considering canceling entry for most non-US citizens from Brazil, the UK, Ireland and 26 other European countries. ban.
According to reports, people familiar with the matter said that the plan has received support from members of the White House's new crown working group, public health agencies and other federal agencies, but President Trump has not yet made a final decision.
The White House, the Department of Homeland Security and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) did not comment on this.
On October 27, local time, in order to curb the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Paris, France, imposed a curfew, and the Champs Elysées was desolate.
According to the report, many U.S. officials believe that, given that most of the rest of the world is not subject to entry bans, these restrictions no longer make sense.
In addition, lifting the entry ban will benefit the recovery of American Airlines.
Data show that during the epidemic, American Airlines' international travel business decreased by 70%.
However, the report pointed out that given the large number of new coronavirus infections in Europe, Trump may still choose not to lift restrictions.
Officials said that another potential obstacle is that European countries are unlikely to allow most Americans to resume visits immediately.
Since mid-March, the United States has banned most European tourists from entering the United States, and the entry ban on Brazil has been implemented since May.
At present, Brazil has lifted the entry restrictions for American tourists.
But in Europe, except for the United Kingdom and Ireland, most countries still prohibit American tourists from entering.
