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

    Local school is still going ahead with their class trip to US because they booked it before the shitstain got elected. They’re crazy - half the kids are brown and some are clearly 🌈 so I wish them the best but can’t imagine it’ll be flawless. They’re not planning another one though obviously.

      Yes, Australia. Have you watched Sky News (Fox news sister station in Australia)?

      They constantly quote each other as " international news source" to bypass the responsibility of backing up their claims. The anti immigrant sentiment is rapid.

      Australians are eating it all up.

      Marine Le Pen was projected to win the election in a few years. They run the same racist campaign in France.

      England was that way until Trump scared the shit out of the Brits with tarrifs.

      Don’t forget Brazil and Philippine.

      The whole world is getting radical.

    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.

    “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?

    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.

      If she has any prior, she would get denied returning to the US. Remind your son in law who to vote next time

    I transited through LA once on my way to Canada over 10 years ago now. That 5 hour experience alone was enough to make me say I don’t ever want to even fly through this shit hole again, let alone leave the airport and visit the country as a whole.

    I can only imagine how much worse it is now with all this vile bullshit going on.

    Yeah, don’t fucking come here. Not now, not in the future. We can’t be trusted again for a very long time - longer than just an election or two.

    I’m just one retired bloke from the UK so hardly representative, but my wife and I were planning a visit to New England next year which has now been binned for the foreseeable future. Canada is looking favourite at the moment.

    I’d say it’s likely to get worse. Lots of people with forward bookings likely kept them as they would lose their money otherwise. They likely won’t have that cohort of now-unwilling tourists next year.

      This year the business devoted to tourism willl struggle. Next year the will start to go under. The year after that is when things get really ugly.

        Likely some will go under this year. If enough go under, there’s enough tourists to support the others. The longer they last, the more the others struggle. Catch 22.
