Trump's announcement — made during an address to the nation Wednesday night — initially sowed some confusion. He described the suspension as affecting "Europe," rather than the specific collection of countries that US authorities later clarified.
During the speech he also said that the "prohibitions would not only apply to the tremendous amount of trade and cargo, but various other things as we get approval," but later corrected himself on Twitter to say that "trade will in no way be affected" by the travel restriction.
"The restriction stops people not goods," he said.(c) Reuters .
