Maybe in Canada and Mexico. Foreign tourists do not want to visit the US right now.

We shall see. How many otherwise normal people do you think will turn over their telephones and social media accounts to the USA to attend a soccer game. Would you?

I don't think he cares. He's tanking the US economy with every move he makes.

I think it’s part of his orders. The oligarchs are crashing it all and creating economic uncertainty so that they can divvy it all up. America is for sale.

I am hoping this continues into next summer.

National Parks are overwhelmed with tourists. Best thing to happen is to limit the tourism.

Tourism contributes billions of dollars to the economy and many cities and towns count on the tax dollars brought in by tourism. How is it "America first" to kill the tourist industry? Tourism is considered an export and contributes to the balance of trade.

So, is that the plan for EVERYBODY? Including World Cup and Olympic participants? Diplomats? Or is this just going to be for demographics that Trump and Co personally dislike?

Of course they won't come.

According to the International Trade Commission, the US is down at least $30 billion in tourism for 2025. International boycotts and a loss in appeal to visit due to Donald Trump has resulted in millions of trips canceled.

Everybody. He’s insulting Europe along with everyone else.
Maybe Russians will be allowed in to visit without any scrutiny. He seems to like them best.

My British friends had long planned to come to Florida for a 50th birthday celebration. Now they won't come as long as Trump is in power and treating foreigners like garbage.

Sorry red states-elections have consequences for your economy.

No, his friends will be exempt. They will have a list of VIPs made up of wealthy people, who will be exempt.

Not so sure. The last World Cup was in Qatar, a very repressive country. And still, rich people flocked to it.

Ticket prices for World Cup games in the US are completely absurd. These games are not meant for normal soccer fans.

But the global wealth will fly around for anything. Your morality is not their morality.

The very big unintended conesquences will be that Americans will face similar restrictions when traveling and/or are denigrated abroad.

DH works in Asia and he says interest in visiting the US has fallen off a cliff. Now all people talk to him about the US to express utter horror.

Why would MAGA care? Most of them have never left their towns, nor do they have any plans to.

If I was a citizen of another country, there’s no way in hell I would take a trip to the USA for pleasure. And I would think twice if forced to come on business. The world is too big and full of wonders to put up with Kristi and Donald’s bullcrap.

You are in good company.

MAGA would glad sell off the National Parks and fire all the staff. So, you will have nice, dirty bathrooms and possibly, eventually, no parks at all.
