US adds UK and Ireland to its European travel ban list
President Donald Trump has added the UK and Ireland to his country’s European travel ban.
The new restrictions will begin at midnight on Monday, eastern standard time (0400 GMT).
The Trump administration has not officially confirmed how long the ban will be for, but the original European travel ban was for 30 days.
American citizens, green card holders and others will still be allowed to return home to the US, Trump said, but they will be ‘funnelled’ through selected airports.
Trump announced a 30-day suspension of flights between 26 European countries and the US on Thursday, with the rules going into force on Friday at midnight.
The initial ban did not include the UK and Ireland, but Trump warned he may add the two destinations later.
