[quote=flu] It’s a definitive easier to sell to the American public (we need to do this for public health safety reasons) than saying we need to get into a trade war again, now with the EU. Remember during the conference yesterday, Donald initially also included not only people but also goods/cargo from EU….something later.thst he retracted…I don’t call that an accidental slip. It seems more like a warning shot.[/quote]

This thought did cross my mind.

Another thought is that flights out of the UK are going to get very expensive as travelers in the EU can just go from the EU to the UK and THEN fly to the US.

Unless it is a worldwide travel ban to the US, people are just gonna go the country where they can still get to the US and fly.
