European Union (EU) leaders have blasted US President Trump’s decision to ban travellers from the US as global air traffic takes a steep dive in light of coronavirus.
On Thursday EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU Council President Charles Michel issued a joint statement taking aim at the “unilateral” decision saying the virus was “not limited to any continent.”
“The European Union disapproves of the fact that the U.S. decision to impose a travel ban was taken unilaterally and without consultation,” they said.
