In a joint statement on the US travel ban, EU presidents Charles Michel and Ursula von der Leyen said they “disapproved” of the decision.
They said: “The coronavirus is a global crisis, not limited to any continent, and it requires co-operation 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 European Union is taking strong action to limit the spread of the virus.”
