It comes as it was announced that the US will extend the European travel restrictions to include Ireland and the UK.
Donald Trump said in a press conference on Saturday afternoon that he was planning to announce the restrictions would be extended to include both countries.
“We’re looking at it very seriously because they have had a little bit of activity unfortunately so we are going to be looking at that, actually we already have looked at it and that is going to be announced,” he said.
In the same press conference, Mike Pence later confirmed the restrictions will include Ireland and the UK as of midnight EST on Monday, March 16.
Ireland and the UK had originally been exempt from the 30-day ban on travellers from 26 European countries, which came into effect as of midnight on Friday.Explore more on these topics:
