European Union leaders said Thursday they disapprove of President Donald Trump's decision to dramatically restrict travel from parts of Europe to the US amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In a statement, the Presidents of the European Council and the European Commission, Charles Michel and Ursula von der Leyen, respectively, said that the outbreak is a "global crisis, not limited to any continent and it requires cooperation rather than unilateral action."
"The European Union disapproves of the fact that the US decision to impose a travel ban was taken unilaterally and without consultation," the statement read.
