Protesters chant 'Stop killing us' as Trump passes

A few demonstrators gathered near the exit of the Trump National Club in Sterling, Virginia, on Sunday as President Donald Trump departed the venue after spending most of the day on the links playing golf.

The protesters wave signs criticising the US administration's handling of the coronavirus pandemic and as the presidential motorcade passed them, they could be heard chanting "Stop killing us!".

As Trump headed back to the White House, its press secretary announced the president had further limited travel from the world's coronavirus hotspots by denying entry to foreigners coming from Brazil.

The Latin American country is second to the US in the number of confirmed cases.

Trump had already banned certain travelers from China, Europe, the United Kingdom and Ireland and, to a lesser extent, Iran.

He has not moved to ban travel from Russia, which has the world's third-highest caseload.

The US leads the world with more than 1.6 million confirmed coronavirus cases, and a death toll that is expected to surpass 100,000 later this week, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.
