European shares plummeted to their lowest in almost four years, with the benchmark Stoxx 600 index falling 4.9% in early deals. Travel and leisure stocks shed 8.6%, hitting their lowest in more than six years. Trump announced on Wednesday that the US will suspend all travel from Europe, except from Britain, to the US for 30 days starting on Friday. However, Trump said trade will not be affected by the restrictions. He also announced some other steps, including instructing the treasury department to defer tax payments for entities hit by the virus.
