> This doesn't really seem to make sense. The US already has confirmed community transmission and the suspected case rate is higher in the US the UK. Also why now? Why not 2 days ago? It makes a lot of sense, if you just disregard human lives. The UK leaving the European Union opens the possibility to open their market to American companies. So, any signal that USA is welcoming to the UK and that the UK and Europe have separate destinies makes a deal more likely in the public opinion. A basic divide an conquer strategy. From THAT perspective makes a lot of sense. When you look at the world thru a glass of 'what will bring me more money' makes sense for president Trump. If you are just a decent person, then it makes no sense at all.
