WASHINGTON – The United States is likely to impose travel restrictions on Brazil on Sunday, the White House national security adviser said, two days after the South American nation became the world No. 2 hot spot for coronavirus cases.
National security adviser Robert O’Brien told CBS’ “Face the Nation” he believes there will be a decision Sunday about suspending entry for travelers arriving from Brazil. Brazil became the world No. 2 hot spot for coronavirus cases on Friday, second only to the United States, and now has over 347,000 people infected by the virus, the Health Ministry said.

We’re helping Brazil with ventilators. … Brazil is having some trouble, no question about it,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
