EU Indignant at Trump's Decision to Ban US Entry from Europe

Brussels emphasized that coronavirus is a global problem requiring cooperation, not unilateral measures. Donald Trump has banned entry into the United States from Europe in the next 30 days. The leadership of the European Union criticized the decision of US President Donald Trump to temporary ban the entry into the country for residents of Europe. "Coronavirus is a global crisis that is not limited to the territory of one continent and requires cooperation, not unilateral action," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU Council President Charles Michel said on Thursday, March 12, in Brussels. A joint statement by politicians emphasizes that the European Union does not approve the United States imposing a ban on unilateral entry without consultation. "The EU is acting decisively to limit the spread of the virus," the statement said. On the eve, Trump announced the closure of borders for those entering Europe for a period of 30 days. At the same time, he accused the EU of not decisively fighting the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
