  1. Good! I was supposed to go to the US for a reunion this year, but I decided not to.

  2. Oops, Trump cant impose tariffs to convince ppl he’s not detroying his country

  3. Disney World and Universal Studios in Florida will be ghost towns this summer.

  4. I was planning a road trip from Chicago to Seattle. I’ve just booked my plane ticket to Malaysia

  5. Imagine pissing of travellers of the continent that is notorious for the many vacation days it gets.

  6. What I wonder is, why only 20-30%? Hoping it will continue down.

  7. Why come to a country when you’ll more than likely be turned at the door or worse – sent to some prison without trial?

  8. I’m also one of them… I was planning to visit my relatives in US this year, but I cancelled my plans and won’t go there until the orange man-baby and the rest of the politicians there won’t chill the fuck down!

  9. Why would I go to a country that doesn’t see me as an equal but as a poor, lazy leech? And why would I risk going through their airport immigration process where they may interrogate me for as long as they want and search my phone, all to then be scared of being picked up by ICE because I “look” illegal and be taken to a jail with no due process before being deported?

    Nah, fuck it. Europe is large enough anyway, too many beautiful and interesting places and nice people to even bother.

  10. Crap I missed today. What country today has issued a travel warning for the US? I usually see a new one join the ever growing list.

  11. Id a holiday to NY planned, no deposit required and have canceled it. Trying to decide where to go in eu instead 

  12. Good. Europe finally starting to catch up to my wisdom of not setting foot on that wretched continent. 👍

  13. Don’t be so *petty*

    But I have tried putting off my son from wanting to go this year and instead we’re going to France, nothing against Americans in general, but Trumpism leaves a very bitter taste and I don’t want to feel like I’ve contributed in anyway to any perceived success.

  14. Not a fan of being locked up for 2 weeks for wanting to visit, neither a fan of various trumpets.

  15. Canceled my september trip.
    No way to travel into a faschist country.

    Usa is the new Russia.

  16. A colleague of mine is in Orlando for two weeks. Hoping he comes back in one piece, or at least not via El Salvador (he is a bit of a numpty so likely to attract those ICE wankers).

  17. The US was Brits 4th most visited country and the biggest market outside of the americas for tourism. This will sting in places like Florida

  18. I’m in the US and I’d move to Europe at the drop of a hat.

    My grandmother and her family left the Netherlands before the Germans invaded to come to the US.

    Now it feels like I’m in their position and need to leave.

    Those people they sent to El Salvador might have all been killed, so it’s like yeah maybe I should GTFO if I’m gay?

  19. For anyone planning to go and wants to be as safe as possible

    Canadians had several postings about this as well, to prevent ending up in lock-up or detention, one should try to use **preclearance**. This means you get checked before you actually fly to the US and are still on EU soil in case something goes wrong in the check.

    **Preclearance in the EU is currently only possible in Ireland at Dublin and Shannon airport.**

  20. I’d love to visit the US at some point but I’m sure as hell not doing it while Trump or an equivalent is president. Or when I could be detained at customs for negative posts about their cult leader.

  21. I also have informed my American friends I will not be visiting this year, which I usually do.

  22. I’m surprised so many want to visit in the first place, it would be on my list of “never want to visit” countries

  23. Book a trip to the great old USA and get an extra trip to El Salvador for free!

  24. I’m American — and honestly, don’t come. This country needs to hit rock bottom before real change happens. The only thing that gets Americans to pay attention is when their wallets take a hit.

  25. Yup.

    I was in the begining stages to plan a USA trip for 2025 or 2026, but that’s not happening right now.

    The last time I went was also during Trump’s presidency but it was not such a shitshow.

  26. Wanted to go for the World Cup. Seems very unlikely, maybe Canada and Mexico instead ig

  27. At the moment Somalia looks more appealing than the United States, tbh.

  28. They don’t want or like us anyways so why go there to spend our money. The smallest issue, like speaking a foreign language in a restaurant, can trigger some people to harass you

  29. Too risky to go, I got a tattoo of a butterfly and they might mistake it for a gang symbol and send me to the death camp.

  30. Why is The Netherlands, much bigger than half of these countries always left out of statistics like this? Is it cause our land mass is so small?
