Mnuchin conceded that we may see some folks venturing outside the country in the course of their jobs: “Obviously, for business people that do need to travel, there will be travel on a limited basis.” But, in terms of leisure travel in the near future, he encouraged Americans to plan their upcoming adventures closer to home.
