EU Excludes United States From Their 'Safe' Travel List



Reuters: EU excludes United States from 'safe' travel list

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union has excluded the United States from its initial “safe list” of countries from which the bloc will allow non-essential travel from Wednesday.

The 27-member bloc gave majority approval on Tuesday to leisure or business travel from 14 countries beyond its borders, the Council of the EU, which represents EU governments.

The countries are Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay.

WNU Editor:I am surprised to see Canada on the EU "safe" list. We are still getting hundreds of cases per day. And Canada does have a lot of restrictions. There is a travel ban for all foreign travellers until the end of July, and a 14 day quarantine is mandatory.

WNU,
Sorry, you are a little bit naive! EU would discard US anyway because EU is more and more anti-America no matter what. They will pay that a big price...they deserve it.

Again, even this list is supposedly done by reciprocity, the exclusion of Taiwan is fully laughable. It's 100% political as accepting Algeria, Morocco and ....Rwanda! (yes!)who nobody knows the real numbers of cases and death.

My Swiss friend just made it into Sweden to do a long hike...always swimming against the current, she's a stubborn one. She likes Sweden and knows full well she may get stuck there for a while, I guess there are worse places to be stuck.
