As America has banned flights from Europe should Europe reciprocate and ban flights from the US?

it would be pretty hypocritical to do that now, given that the EU and others have already protested against the ban. Besides when have tit-for-tat actions ever done anything useful apart from making the governments concerned look childish?

The ban is on flights from Continental Europe, not Britain and Eire. Perhaps Mr. Trump has not been told about Eurostar, nor about connecting flights between Europe, many UK airports and Dublin....

(Eeeh, good thing I looked back at what I'd typed. I'd spelt "frights" with an "r" instead of "l". Though perhaps an apt malapropism in the circumstances.)
@ArishMell Am rather sure Britain intends to leverage Brexit ... to shut the tunnel and limit flights to continental Europe ... maybe the "Delay Measures" the PM did not explain further?

@questionWeaver Not unless and until really necessary, and it has nothing to do with leaving the EU.
