Many international competitions, such as international swing dancing, in the US have been postponed. Many international competitors don’t feel welcomed. Many organisers consider moving competitions to overseas.

We closed our own door. There is not a single one country can thrive without international trade. They are not coming back to the US

    Hahaha, “May”. No this is the beginning of the end for America. Travel is ruined, inflation is sky high, no one is safe from being kidnapped, and no jobs are available.

    Why would ANYONE want to travel to the US anymore? So many other cheaper, nicer, and safer places to stay where you are actually free and not surrounded by a police state.

    Those who bought flight tickets will still come. Next year, they probably will go to Canada. Canada is close enough to enjoy the north America culture without the prejudice

    I have lived in the US, and have very dear friends there. I wanted to go visit, with my young adult kids, who have never been to the US. Now I must wait until things normalize.

    Even though I’m standard European white, and my kids are blond and “dark” redhead; paper white, freckles etc. and we’d have less chance of being profiled, there have been instances of western tourists held for weeks, so no. Plenty of world to see for now.

    “May”? — Please tell me what indicator they saw that would signal things would improve? That’s the laughable part. The World Cup is gonna be a shit show that they’ll practically have to give tickets away to at this rate.

      I’m actually kind of excited to see the trump administration RUIN one of the best things to come to the US. FIFA will never come back here after the insanity that is about to go down. So many innocent people will be kidnapped by ICE for attending, so why even go?

        Border Patrol Officers are extremely unpleasant, as are ICE, rude, brutal and refer to people as “bodies.” They don’t care if they make you miss your connecting flight or detain you for a few weeks or months just because – right from the airport.

      What about people who enjoy extreme sports and visiting dangerous places? You know like, people who visit war zones and tyranical dictatorships? I think USA might make it to the top ten along with Palestine, Afghanistan and North Korea.

        They have no problem beating identifiable journalists, spraying tear gas directly in their faces etc. Unless you work for Fox, CBS or some other propaganda machine.

    As a Canadian - not going back to the US for the far foreseeable future. This isn’t a “after next election” fix. There’s a deep cultural issue that needs to be fixed before I care to spend my money there again.

      As an American, please don’t. Our country is a dumpster fire, and I’m urging everyone to…ya know…NEVER COME HERE!!! Seriously guys. It’s bad. You’re not safe here. Please don’t put yourself in harms way.

      Also…can’t help but notice that you’re Canadian. Mind if I stay on your couch for the next 60 years?

      European in an international field here. I usually travel to US for work once every year or so but told my boss I am not willing to - his answer? “Well, me neither, you are good”

        Heck, I don’t want to be here either. I am working on re-ordering a passport (my old one expired). Also… I may have a chance of getting approved for German residence/citizenship if all goes well (my mother was German). I just have the suspicion there are not nearly enough undocumented immigrants here to keep those planned warehouses perpetually filled-- so who they plan to fill them with? I am betting they will be for those not in the Nazi Republican Party. I am sure they will call them “employment centers” aka “work camps.”
