BREAKING: The Biden Administration plans to ease foreign travel restrictions beginning in November. Foreign nationals flying into the U.S. will have to be fully vaccinated and test negative for COVID-19 within three days of their flight. ​

The new rules will replace a hodgepodge of restrictions that had barred non-citizens who had been in Europe, much of Asia and certain other countries in the prior 14 days from entering the U.S. The changes will allow families and others who have been separated by the travel restrictions for 18 months to plan for long-awaited reunifications.

“This is based on individuals rather than a country-based approach, so it’s a stronger system,” Zients said. It was not immediately clear which vaccines would be acceptable under the U.S.-system and whether those unapproved in the U.S. could be used. Zients said that decision would be up to the CDC. Prime Minister Boris Johnson tweeted that he was “delighted” by the news. He said: “It’s a fantastic boost for business and trade, and great that family and friends on both sides of the pond can be reunited once again.”

Airlines hailed the U.S. decision as a lifeline for the struggling industry. Tim Alderslade, chief executive of industry body Airlines U.K. said it was “a major breakthrough.”

Considering the severe status of COVID-19,is it really a good idea to relax travel ban from EU and UK?

Biden administration to ease restrictions on travelers to US in NovemberThe Biden administration said Monday it plans to ease restrictions on travelers to the U.S. beginning in November, officials said Monday It should be free for US travelers to get Covid testing to return to the states from other countries. I paid $70 in Mexico for a required test back in May and $110 in Switzerland just 2 weeks ago. But the land border with Canada remains closed. Makes sense. So basically, if you want to come to the US unvaccinated, just walk across the southern border - no questions asked.

Rep. Maloney: California was a good test of Biden vs. TrumpRep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-NY, joins Morning Joe to discuss the outcome of California's recall election and what Republicans can take away from the results. Rep. Maloney also discusses why he says the $3.5T reconciliation package has a 'good chance' of getting through the Senate. Let’s do a Biden vs trump in Texas and Florida Drone kills children, boosters deadly, French ambassador flees US, infected hordes pouring across the southern border and thousands of Americans left behind in Afghanistan. Great job Dems! California is not a litmus test for the rest of this fuc-ed-up country. We're a blue state and the recall was a joke. There are tens of millions of American lunatics who will vote red.

France's Macron to talk to Biden amid crisis over submarinesPresident Emmanuel Macron will speak in the coming days with President Joe Biden in what will be their first contact since a major diplomatic crisis erupted between France and the United States over a submarine deal with Australia, an official said Sunday. The phone call is at the request of Biden, government spokesman Gabriel Attal said, adding that there was “shock” and “anger” at first. What the French now call a “grave crisis” erupted over the sudden, surprise end to a 2016 contract worth at least $66 billion between France and Australia to build 12 conventional diesel-electric submarines.

Biden pitching partnership after tough stretch with alliesPresident Joe Biden pledged a more collaborative international approach from the U.S. But as he prepares to speak at the United Nations this week, he is at odds with allies on a number of high-profile issues, including vaccines, Afghanistan and China. Tyranny Joe will get everything he wants. Suggestion: Fire Blinken. He’s not a good Secretary of State. Then, start treating the continent of Europe with respect and consideration. We’ve been taking them for granted the past 25 years. The UK is NOT Europe. What it looks like now that 'the adults' are back in the room: —7 kids murdered by a hellfire missile —13 US Service Members killed by ISIS —12,000 illegals huddled under a bridge —243-year-old ally recalled their ambassador 'Don't underestimate Joe's ability to F*** things up'
