The Us Officially Imposes Travel Restrictions On Brazil
US President Donald Trump
on May 24 (local time) announced a suspension of entry into the US for any
individual who has been in Brazil for 14 days.
President Trump's statement
emphasized that, for U.S. interests, he decided to take action to restrict and
suspend entry into the United States for immigrants or non-immigrants, all
foreigners who already have in Brazil for 14 days before entering or seeking
entry into the US.
White House Press Secretary
Kayleigh McEnany said the measure would help ensure foreign nationals already
in Brazil do not become an additional source of infection in the United
States. However, these new restrictions do not apply to trade flows
between the US and Brazil.
Earlier on May 24,
interviewed CBS News , US National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien
expressed his hope that travel restrictions with Brazil would be temporary.
Robert O'Brien also said
the White House would consider imposing travel restrictions on the entire
Southern Hemisphere region on a country-by-country basis.
According to statistics of
Johns Hopkins University, as of early this morning 25/5 (Hanoi time), Brazil
has recorded more than 347,000 cases of infection, of which at least 22,000 people
died from COVID-19.
