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 pound sand.
Because Orange Man Bad!
Hey EU! Those wondeerful rrobins egg blue helmets y’all have, stand out wonderfully amongst the forest and prairies!
“... and we are also withdrawing our troops from Western Europe as it has been determined that forces in Britain and Poland are sufficient to meet our NATO requirements.”
F**k the EU with a piece of rusty rebar
Countries like Denmark, Norway and Sweden all have 600+ confirmed Wuhan Virus cases each. Tiny Iceland, pop. 280,000 has nearly 100!
Yeah, this is my apathetic face.
“rusty rebar” LOL
Who cares what the EU thinks? The President certainly does NOT need to ask permission to keep possibly ill people out of the U.S.
“I wonder why the EU issued this statement.”
I am sure the Euro Peons are in a panic. Hatred of Trump can redirect their anger. This is also a really low-cost way of looking like the EU is doing something (they “say” they are). That may quell the frightened peasants a bit, too.
Seems like the EU forgot the 0bama years are way behind us.
To quote Gropin’Joe Biden, “You’re full of sh*t, Brussels! I challenge you to a rope jumping competition! Outside, Jack. Just you and me, man. Mano a mano.”
You know what, Brussels? Just hand out free doobies and everything will be fine. Sheesh. Bunch of drama queens.
Dear E-freaking-U,
1776, baby!
Yours,
The still free people of the USA
Seeing pronouncements like this from the all-knowing, all-seeing EUro-phonies, I wonder why Britain took so long to tell them to sod off!
The USA doesn’t need your permission.
Screw you EU.
Turned the table on the lefties foreign and domestic. They’re supposed to be the ones reporting cases and deaths or “deaths” (heavily leftwing areas and leftwing celebs hit hardest) and Trump is supposed to be the one paying the price. Now they get some misery at the hand of their own hoax. I’m glad. I cannot wait for this current hoax to blow up in their faces.
