Wrong.Wrong.
The courts allowed US citizens traveling to those place to come back carrying the virus, and the courts allowed those with green cards to travel to the US.
That was Trumps call, he even said so.

The United States has confirmed cases of individuals who have a severe acute respiratory illness caused by a novel (new) coronavirus ("2019-nCoV") ("the viwww.whitehouse.gov
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America
The entry into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of all aliens who were physically present within the People’s Republic of China, excluding the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau, during the 14-day period preceding their entry or attempted entry into the United States is hereby suspended and limited subject to section 2 of this proclamation.

(iii) any alien who is the parent or legal guardian of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, provided that the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident is unmarried and under the age of 21;

(v) any alien who is the child, foster child, or ward of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, or who is a prospective adoptee seeking to enter the United States pursuant to the IR-4 or IH-4 visa classifications;
Why did you LIE, and claim the courts forced the exceptions.
Because these exceptions were the RESULT of the court rulings.
Previously Trump has blocked all travel back to the US, except through quarantine.
And US citizens wishing to return home took it to court and won, forcing Trump to add these exceptions.
And it was these court forced exceptions that allowed the virus to enter the US in volume.
