The European Commission has said that the European Union “disapproves” of President Donald Trump’s decision to protect his citizens from further foreign exposure to coronavirus by banning entry from most of the bloc’s countries without having consulted with Brussels, first.
President Trump announced the 30-day ban on Wednesday which will go into effect on Friday. The ban is limited to mainland Europe, specifically the countries in the visa-free travel area known as the Schengen Zone, like France, Germany, and Sweden.
The UK and Ireland are not affected, as are non-Schengen countries like Croatia and Romania. Non-EU countries on the continent like Serbia and Ukraine are likewise not affected.
The European Commission, the EU’s powerful executive arm, said on Thursday: “The coronavirus is a global crisis, not limited to any continent and it requires cooperation rather than unilateral action.
“The European Union disapproves of the fact that the U.S. decision to impose a travel ban was taken unilaterally and without consultation.
“The European Union is taking strong action to limit the spread of the virus.”

Go f*** yourselves
Hey EU, FU.
And their horse
Brussels.
A city filled with loser-burgers who think they know everything.
Screw ‘em.
We all seem to be thinking on the same line.
That issue of seeking permission was resolved in 1776 !
Up yours, EU.
btt
LOL, F*** YOU!
Donald Trump doesn’t need permission from the EU to do anything.
Those sniveling bureaucratic a-holes better get back to work trying to mitigate the crisis in their countries and stay the hell out of American politics (and America as well for that matter!)
I wonder why the EU issued this statement. What can they gain from it? Was it that they wanted to criticize Trump? The statement says, we are powerless to stop this, but we are unable to do anything about it.
Well said!
We neither need, want or appreciate their input on our actions.
Just say "Thanks" for the fact Merkel isn't your Führer and STFU, EU.
Just reaping the rewards of open borders . . . and not quite used to a president who represents Americans instead of “We, the World.”
I guess the tyrants are not used to an independent entity acting on its’ own.
Now we know he did the right thing....
“I wonder why the EU issued this statement. What can they gain from it? Was it that they wanted to criticize Trump? The statement says, we are powerless to stop this, but we are unable to do anything about it.”
Excellent point.
Our President, Donald Trump, doesn’t need anyone’s permission, especially that of some group of alien bureaucrats who hate the USA.
