EU Trade Commissioner Cancels Trip to Washington

European Union Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan, who was scheduled to give a speech in Washington next week, canceled his trip because of the coronavirus pandemic, a spokesman said. The groups that had invited him to speak canceled the events. The cancelation was made before Trump announced that non-citizens and non-green card holders would not be allowed to fly between the EU countries that have open borders and the U.S. That ban does not cover Ireland, Hogan's home country, but does cover Belgium, where the EU has its headquarters.
