Europe reopens borders likely barring U S citizens
Brussels officials plan to reopen within Europe by July 1 while excluding many non EU nations, with the United States facing likely curbs due to high infection rates and a Trump travel ban. EU criteria center on infection rates, testing, tracing, and overall pandemic response to decide which third countries may gain entry. The ruling aims to preserve free movement inside Schengen and avoid ad hoc openings that could trigger renewed border checks.
