On March 13th President Trump temporarily banned travelers from the EU:

While announcing the entry restriction for European countries, President Donald Trump addressed to the American people on Wednesday that all the travel and import coming from 26 European Union countries that are part of the Schengen Agreement will be banned as well.

Within a few minutes, the White House officials clarified that the 30-day ban would only be applied to nationals coming from the EU, and not to all goods.

Does this ban actually expire on April 13th?



Best Answer

The proclamation remains in effect until the president says otherwise:

Sec. 4. Termination. This proclamation shall remain in effect until terminated by the President. The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall recommend that the President continue, modify, or terminate this proclamation as described in section 5 of Proclamation 9984, as amended.

A period of thirty days was discussed when the original proclamation was made, but it doesn't appear in the actual document. In any case, I'd be very surprised if it wasn't extended.
