A group of five senators have written to President Biden demanding he implement a travel ban on China due to an alarming spike in an unknown respiratory illness inside the communist nation.
The letter, penned Friday by Senators Marco Rubio, R-Texas, J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, Rick Scott, R-Fla., Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., and Mike Braun, R-Ind., calls for Biden to immediately restrict travel between the United States and China until more information is gathered about the dangers posed by the new illness.
China has seen a rise in unexplained childhood pneumonia cases and other respiratory illnesses.
