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

    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

    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.

    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.

      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”

      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?

      Yup. Even if we eek out a miracle and elect a majority Democratic House and/or Senate we still have a Dictator in the Whitehouse and his admin has sprinkled loyalists all over the country. It will take decades to root out most of the fascists (some were probably there way before Trump ran the first time).

      Canada beat fascism by only 3%, your next election is probably gonna swing it. Sorey

        If you’re referring to popular vote share, it’s not a very meaningful number in terms of impact on the federal election.

        The only number that matters in the end is seats in the house, of which the Liberals won 152 vs 120 for the fascist party - that’s roughly a 25% margin… not a tight race in any meaningful way.

        Not saying it can’t or won’t happen here, just saying characterizing this last election as a 3% contest is grossly inaccurate in real terms.

            It was going to go handily toward fascism, but the US beat them to it, and sentiment immediately reversed course. A similar thing happened during the great depression. When people are living in scary, divisive times, fascism looks like a valid solution…until the country next door does it.

          It’s gonna happen. Fascism thrives on fear and uncertainty. Trump is just a trial run for every country. They will all have their very successful “Project 2025s”

          There is hope, but if we talk about that sort of thing we will get banned from here.

    “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.

    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.
