According to The New York Times on the 14th (local time), President Trump announced this policy at a press conference held in the White House Rose Garden on the same day.

The U.S. measure addresses issues such as China's bias in the response to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), and President Trump had been warning of this possibility since last week.
