Tourists say they are avoiding visits to America

  • Tourists are avoiding the U.S. due to the Trump administration's strict immigration policies, causing a drop in overseas visitors.
  • Reports of harsh treatment and prolonged detentions of visitors, even for minor visa issues, have fueled these concerns.
  • Several countries have updated their travel advisories, warning citizens about potential difficulties at the U.S. border.
  • Business travelers, creatives, and academics are particularly apprehensive, with some canceling conference trips due to safety fears.
  • This trend could have significant economic and cultural consequences for the U.S. if it continues.
