Anyone smart enough to help me understand why UK would be exempt?
- DrStalker 7y agoSomeone told Trump they left the EU so in his mind they aren't part of Europe anymore.

- alamortsubite 7y agoI'm not claiming smarts but my guess is it's purely a diplomatic gesture.
- fotbr 7y agoBecause Boris is UK-Trump? (said only semi-seriously, I don't follow UK politics close enough to know for sure how good the comparison is) I suspect it's a matter of the "special relationship" the US and UK have had for decades; Trump doesn't want to be seen as the one throwing our UK friends under the bus, especially with the promises he made during the lead-up to and implementation of Brexit.
- balola 7y agoPresumably it's an English speaking country with tighter ties.
- sidibe 7y agoIDK, but at this point its all pretty arbitrary however they do it since it seems to be spreading in some parts of the USA pretty well already. I guess less travel, whether it's EU, UK or even domestic, is better, but where from doesn't really matter as much anymore so Trump picked some for political purpose.
- hatenberg 7y agoBecause they dont inconvenience people with Temperature checks on arrival- even from Milan.
- polski-g 7y agoThey're not in the Schengen zone, so they can control who comes in?
