Nur leider stimmt die Artikel-Überschrift "Jen Psaki ADMITS Biden's international travel ban is 'inconsistent and confusing'" nicht mit dem wirklichen Psaki-Statement überein.
James S. Brady Press Briefing Room 1:04 P.M. EDT MS. PSAKI: Hello. Okay. Today we have another great guest joining us in the briefing room, Secretary Cardona. As a mother of two little children myself, including one going to elementary school, I know you all have lots of questions about...

Q During the health briefing, it was talked about how vaccination requirements for foreign travelers are under consideration, but there were also other alternative pathways that were mentioned. Could you tell us a little bit more about those alternative pathways that are under discussion?
And relatedly, does the U.S. have concerns that if it doesn’t take action on this issue in the next few weeks, that other countries could ban American travelers from going there if the U.S. doesn’t reciprocate?
MS. PSAKI: Yeah, I mean, both really good questions, Francesca. I think what’s important here to note is that while there hasn’t been a final decision made, how the interagency working groups are looking at this is with the objective of taking steps that will return international travel at a moment when it’s appropriate.
And right now, we’re not at that point because of the rise of the Delta variant. But we want to have a process in place that’s prepared for when we hit that moment. And whenever the decision is made about what that will look like, we want it to be clear; we don’t want it to be conflicting or confusing. And we want it to be equitable.
So, yes, there are a range of options. I’m not going to outline those from here. And certainly the one that has been reported on is strongly under consideration.
