Trump lifts Covid-19-related travel restrictions for much of Europe, the UK, Ireland and Brazil

He surely knows Scotland warned him not to come there, right? It's called Covid avoidance...although I'd guess they don't like him being the main reason.

I thought it was reported that Joe planned to lift travel restrictions on his first day??

That's what I'd heard...

UK has the mutated Covid-19 that is suppose to be twice as infectious as the stain we have now.
I am sure it is already traveling around the US, but this will only speed up the infection rate.

Good luck with that.

European countries are restricting travelers from the US, and any European would have to be an idiot to come here when the entire country is going from peak to peak in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.

Maybe he wants to make it easier for his wanna be revolutionaries--those with money anyway--to flee before the 20th.

Otherwise it's difficult to see what difference this will make over the next two days.

is no better. Their rates of infection are as bad as ours, if not worse.

Still difficult to see why anyone would want to come here now.

Especially if, when the travel restrictions come back Wednesday, leaving might become more difficult.

On the other hand, people may come fleeing from Brazil's mini-Trump administration. Which would be all right with me--progressive refugees from an authoritarian regime should always be welcome here. As long as they do a quarantine and get tested as soon as they arrive, and agree to wear masks and do social distancing for the duration of the crisis.

But he blocks them to keep up the blame.

and also reluctant to come here because, well, uncontrolled plague.

We're like a ship carrying the Black Death into Venice.

No one right now who can possibly avoid it wants us to get near or to get near us.

MAGA-Making America a Global Anathema.

He's trying to kill more people after he's gone. He can lift this ban but not the ban of immigrants. What is he trying to prove?

He is a mindless, vindictive monster. Rick Wilson was right, everything Trump touches dies and it is intentional.

Worst President Ever..

and Trump never answered it, not on the fly, not the next day, not ever.

Real leadership!

(Bloomberg) -- President-elect Joe Biden’s incoming administration rejected a move by President Donald Trump to rescind coronavirus-related travel bans for non-American citizens arriving from the European Union, the U.K. and Brazil, which means the curbs will stay in effect.

Trump said in a White House announcement Monday that the bans could be lifted because of a decision last week by the administration to require international travelers to present either the results of a negative recent coronavirus test or evidence that they had already recovered from the disease. The change would go into effect starting Jan. 26, six days after Biden takes office.

But Jen Psaki, a spokeswoman for Biden, said the incoming administration plans to block Trump’s move.

“On the advice of our medical team, the Administration does not intend to lift these restrictions on 1/26. In fact, we plan to strengthen public health measures around international travel in order to further mitigate the spread of COVID-19,” she tweeted.

I don't think he knows.

Thanks for the OP update BTW.

...until over 2 hours AFTER the Capitol was breached!

I am now convinced he is trying to kill us all.

Almost everything the Orange Traitor has done has been to diminish America's power, alliances, treaties, trade agreements, environmental efforts, pandemic control, and so much more. Or to benefit himself and his cronies financially.
