'Unlike Trump, I don't shock our allies:' Biden

Biden was speaking to reporters on the tarmac of an airfield in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after an event at a nearby technical college to promote his infrastructure agenda.

When asked about Trump's shock travel restrictions without informing allies, Biden responded, "Unlike Trump, I don't shock our allies."

Earlier in the day, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advised Americans against travel to Niger, Papua New Guinea, Poland, and Trinidad and Tobago, citing COVID-19 concerns.

The CDC now lists about 80 destinations at "Level 4: Very High" classification after the White House announced new travel restrictions in response to the new Omicron coronavirus variant.
