Trump has closed the borders in the name a National Health Emergency but without actually declaring one.
The wall continues to be built without delays, and now also without the invading caravans (CBP says are already ~90% down from this same time last year.)
As a matter of exercising Executive authority Trump can choose at his leisure to re-open traffic -- possibly with UK first followed eventually by EU, then places like Mexico last.
And then re-open China but only with extreme restrictions thereafter - as in, anyone arriving from the PRC has to be quarantined for 14-days - can do an especially in-depth background check at the same time, and ultimately refuse entry where CCP ties are identified.
Outcome: possibly fewer and/or less effective CCP spies and IP thieves. Chokes human transit/interaction while we continue with draconian tariffs on China -- which allows a draining internal power struggle to commence that eventually breaks their back -- especially when the US informs China that our $1.5T debt to them is erased as a consequence of this failed bio-terror attack.
Child trafficking and particularly opioid drug trafficking has already suffered significant constraint due to the border control enhancements.
Just a few examples of the current crisis that Trump will not allow to go to waste. There are others.
There are silver linings in these things.
FReegards!
