US President Donald Trump has announced sweeping new travel restrictions on Europe in a bid to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
In a televised address on Wednesday, he said all travel from Europe would be suspended for the next 30 days. But he said the"strong but necessary" restrictions would not apply to the UK, where 460 cases of the virus have now been confirmed.This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.

Except where he has golf courses.
Stop the yanks traveling full stop and that clown of a President
I don't think Europeans really want to travel to the US anyway. The US doesn't even test people for Coronavirus. Trump only feel sympathy toward the UK because they do exactly as little as the US to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Remind me which countries in Europe has golf resorts. Hmmmmm
Ireland is in Europe, you can still travel from there. What have the UK & Ireland have in common? Trump golf courses.
But not places in Europe where he has golf resorts
Please correct the information you are providing the ban is for 26 Schengen are countries Comprising 22 EU countries (excluding Ireland, Bulgaria. Romania, Cyprus and Croatia) 4 EFTA countries
So Europeans want to be British now to get to the US, Euxit... its coming
Halts travel to Schengen*
So the UK is no longer in Europe?
except the uk.

Again.. Heathrow is a transfer hub from Europe to US... so...
Europe and the EU are two different things. Europe the continent is being banned. The UK is in Europe.
Europe is a CONTINENT of which the UK is part of - the world is divided up into 7 continents (EUROPE Asia, Africa etc). The EU is the European Union of which we have just left. The EU is basically laws & agreements between a group of countries ( France Germany etc). DIFFERENT.
So can all the Europeans fly to Britain an then fly on to America?
That is much more about politics than the virus, imo!
JoRichardsKent Except the UK & Ireland, which is where a Trump has his golf courses.
Donald Trump owns resorts in Scotland and Ireland. They must remain unaffected at all costs. POTUS COVID19 Schengen
To late, the virus is all ready in 😔
Disgusting horrible little man
Is there a single word to convey 'locking the stable door after the horse has bolted' susie_dent?
Aww, bless him. He really hasn’t got a clue has he😂
bbclaurak Fly in through Ireland would be an easy option.
If the ban is based on being in the Schengen area within the previous 14 days, HOW will any immigration officer or cabin crew identify who to stop. Trump doesn't realise we don't stamp passports within Europe (yet).
BorisJohnson why are we allowing travel from severely affected areas here, thousands from Madrid last night fo football how is this containment
They should have been prepared, had 40 yrs to do so, well they have 10 yrs before it returns again to find a cure and prevent it from doing so!
100% right move

Coronovarius WAS a hoax perpetrated by TheDemocrats Now. Europe = scapegoat AmericaFirst Xenophobia RacistNarrative
Thank God for that!
So much for the BrexitTradeDeals SpecialRelationship 😹
Ph! And we from US!! 🙁😂😂
Does this mean travellers from Europe, fly to London and take a connecting flight to US. This makes UK more vulnerable due to increase in passenger numbers? COVID19 coronavirus BorisJohnson theJeremyVine bbclaurak
Luckily nowhere that he has a Trump resort has any problem with Covid so no travel ban
MakeCoronavirusGreatAgain FarOrangeRetard
So when will our, not so clever PM close doors to the UK to start protecting us?
Pointless
Ghebreyesus cares only about keeping his position at WHO. He wants to enjoy a hefty salary and pension plan as a UN/WHO employee. He is either incompetent in medical science or dangerously careless. He failed the entire world. WHO must dismiss Ghebreyesus immediately.
U.K. gov needs to do more for this virus!
Great...so the UK becomes a transit hub during a pandemic....which Buffoon approved this
Good job there isn't a eurostar and UK airports...... oh erm.....
Canada's gonna be busy.
We’re in Finland & a group of US guests walked straight into the restaurant without using the hand sanitizers as requested. Obviously thinks it doesn’t apply to them !!
Not being funny but do we really want the additional travel through the U.K. it’s only going to speed up the spread in the U.K. - Appreciate was probably done as a favour but it will actually make us a centre of the epidemic!
The ban doesn’t apply to US citizens returning from Europe.
That should read mainland Europe. UK is part of Europe ... always will be! But we are infected, so why not UK? Logically, doesn’t make sense.
Is the ban by nationality? How do you know an individual’s travel history? P pole could simply travel to U.K. from mainland Europe or Brits return to U.K. and then travel on to US.
I suppose it’s some kind of action, but he has literally no idea how many cases there are in the US as hardly anyone can get tested
I cannot see any logical reason why it would.include Europe and exclude the UK. Unless trump with his simple mind thinks we have already left and pulled up the drawbridge
At last ... the Brexit bonus !!!!
Even Trump doing something come on UK !!! Lets see more action than planning coronavirus
UK must protect its people. We can't have people coming in from Italy.
I guess the Europeans can get around this by transiting those U.K. airports that serve the US? Or is Trump’s ban based on the nationality of the passport holder? Perhaps you could ask your resident guest Farage ...
How are the remainers liking free movement now?
Everything, Evertime this asshole speaks it smells like a SHOW !! He isn’t very good at “ reading his lines”. He really didn’t want to make that address to the Nation.. his Handlers told him he must.. since CPAC spreading.
POTUS you ban travel from Europe now but could have minimized this 45 days ago but banning travel from Asia. Your so disappointingly late.
realDonaldTrump For just a second I thought Trump might be doing something sensible there. But no. He does realise that the UK are still part of Europe, just not the EU and we have more cases than some Europeans. Also people can fly via the UK no?
CarlosRustyB In the meantime we're still letting every fcuker in! 😡🤬
Lol , friends of Europe 🤔
Time to restrict all flights into the uk . Protect your people uk government
At last he is realising it’s a real threat
The man is quite simply bonkers. End of.
That headline isn't quite accurate .is it BBC...
Cheap vacays
Trump learns from India and halts all flights from Europe to the US..But what about those who already have coronavirus in the US and given how expensive it is to test, people with no medical insurance won't get tested....that means more trouble for the US!
This year, worldwide less will die of flue because people take precautions against the Corona virus.
Odd choice.. I imagine it's nothing to do with safety. The UK have more cases than several other European countries. 78 new today.
So just go from Eu country to UK, UK to US.....
Just fly to UK and get a flight to USA. Really didnt think that through did he
Uk is part of Europe. Makes no sense whatsoever to enforce a partial ban.
Does it mean that the 20,000 US soldiers recently arrived in Europe will never get back home?
But UK planes can still fly?
UK must do the same imediately. no more EU travel!!
So everyone who wants to get to the US can just fly via UK? Nice, thanks for that 👍🏼
The people in Europe better pray to God, the Collider is still 14 months from coming online. It’s all clear now if CERN is pulling some mind trick.
JustinTrudeau, the US suspends travel from Europe. To protect Canadians, please also suspend travel from Europe (except the UK) into Canada. Mr. Prime Minister, it’s time to put Canadians first. cdnpoli covid19Canada
JackBailey__ literally lost your chance
Bloody Brexit is getting out of hand 😂
So as UnitedKingdom has no lockdown, why can't people fly from mainland Europe into London then onwards to America? COVID19
So can we now bar Trump from the UK? Little blessings in a bad situation.
Another Trump distraction. 'It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.'
The YK might just see an influx of travellers, spend a night and then fly to the US.
So presumably people from Europe who want to travel to the USA will not go through British airports. Weird to exempt one country from the ban.
Your turn JustinTrudeau ....
Tom Hanks and his Wife now tested positive too.
Trump is racist he hates white Europeans 😂
Well done, Mr President👍🙏
Shouldn’t that headline say mainland Europe? We are still part of Europe. Clarity right now is important when giving info.
Well joke’s on him, I don’t want to visit the USA anyway. lol 😂
Racist... or something.
So if I fly from Europe to Iceland or Ireland or Caribbean then fly to USA I am in Icelandair IrishTimes just saying
Why exempt Britain? Sounds like political revenge, not medical need.
So Europeans will potentially flood UK airports for onward travel, some who may have the virus. Great news..😕
Who can save children in Iran? They are not able to import enough medical equipment because American believe it will be used to make nuclear weapons? Can we put our political bias asides and behave like a human being frist?
WTF How does that help anything He needs to tell everyone to stay home and push out a ton of tests. What a loser. He’s got nothing.
So you go from Paris to London and then to the US. How stupid is that man
“UK asks to be included for the health of their citizens.”
I thought it was a democrat hoax
If this doesn’t tank the stock market I don’t know what will lol.
RACIST
But UK is exempted..
Finally, now how about some freaking testing.
