At a bilateral meeting in Washington between U.S. President Joe Biden and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the White House chief announced that an end to the travel ban on European tourists is imminent.
President Biden says expects to give an update on whether his administration would lift a ban on travel from Germany and other parts of Europe in the coming days https://t.co/TUssmy6NIe

There is no reopening date yet, but the commander in chief has expressed his willingness to lift the ban.
The ban has been in place since March 2020, that is, since the outbreak of the pandemic. In recent months there have been a succession of calls for reciprocity from the European political world, as American tourists are allowed to fly into the EU. There has also been a lot of pressure from the travel industry.
At this time I do not it is possible to travel for tourism in the US, unless you first spend 14 days in a country not subject to the ban.
At this point it is logical to assume that any day now the head of the White House will sign the executive order and reopen essential travel for European travelers.
He does not stay to watch the Canada planning to reopen the border with the U.S. by mid-August and then with other countries in September.
The news, again much anticipated by the tourism world, was announced by the WSJ.
