Donald Trump says Britons to be evacuated from stranded cruise ships off Florida

Donald Trump said on Wednesday that US authorities will evacuate passengers, including Britons, from a stranded cruise ship due to dock in Florida after being barred from several South American countries because of a coronavirus outbreak aboard.

Both the cruise ship Zaandam, where dozens of people have fallen ill, and its sister ship Rotterdam are due to enter US waters early on Thursday ahead of their expected docking in Fort Lauderdale.

The US president said the US was "sending medical teams on board the ships" and taking people off, with foreigners sent home.

"We're taking the Canadians off and giving them to Canadian authorities," he said. "Same thing with the UK. But we have to help the people. They're in big trouble."
