Regardless of your stance on this president, problems he has are
rambling off topic and speaking words whose literal meaning is 100%
backwards from what he actually meant.
I'm glad we're not actually halting all trade with Europe. That would
be absurd.

OK, never mind. I see this clarification from I think an NYT
contributor on Twitter:
The White House clarifies the president's Europe travel ban "only
applies to human beings, not goods and cargo. It tracks very
similar to the proclamation issued for China. The people
transporting goods will not be admitted into the country, but the
goods will be."

*Subject:* [AFMUG] Europe travel ban, or also "trade and cargo"?
Did anyone listen to the POTUS address tonight? It is being
reported as a 30 day European travel ban. But I heard him say
“these prohibitions will not only apply to the tremendous amount
of trade and cargo, but various other things as we get approval.
Anything coming from Europe to the United States is what we are
discussing.”
He was clearly reading from a teleprompter, so I don’t think he
misspoke or ad libbed.
Does this not sound like all imports from Europe will be blocked,
at least for 30 days? I don’t think we’ve blocked imports from
China. We use equipment that comes from European countries like
Ukraine, Hungary, Latvia, etc. Not sure how this would be
implemented or if it makes any sense to block thing imported
goods. Also not sure what the “various other things” would be.
After people, trade and cargo, what else is there? Internet?
News reports don’t seem to be interpreting it the way I heard it,
so maybe I’m wrong?
