Cross-Border Shockwaves: DR Congo cancels its pre-World Cup camp in Kinshasa; FIFA says it’s monitoring. The U.S. tightens entry rules and travel bans, and Americans exposed are monitored in Europe. Containment Gaps: Former U.S. officials argue USAID cuts likely slowed detection and response, leaving the virus to spread undetected for weeks.
