WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 24th June, 2020) The United States is working with the European Union and countries throughout the world to determine how international travel can be safely reopened after being halted to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a press briefing on Wednesday.
"We have been working with countries all across the world, including our friends in Europe, to determine how we can safely reopen international travel," Pompeo told reporters.
Pompeo emphasized the importance of reopening international travel for the United States and the EU member states' economies.
"I am confident that we will find a set of conditions that create sufficient health and safety protections, sufficient travel opportunities," Pompeo said.
