President Trump said he's considering adding the UK into the list of European countries with travel restrictions to the US — and he could take others off the list.

Trump said Wednesday he was sharply restricting travel to the United States from more than two dozen European countries. This list did not include the UK, which has seen a rise in coronavirus cases since the announcement.

"We may have to include them in the list of countries that we will, you could say, ban or whatever it is, during this period of time," Trump said when asked why he did not include the UK on the list. "The numbers have gone up fairly precipitously over the last 24 hours. "

He continued: "And we may be adding a couple of others. And we may, frankly, start thinking about taking some off."
