   First, if you are considering a trip to the United States, please reconsider. Why reward Trump’s America with your tourist dollars?

   Many international travelers concerned about Trump’s authoritarianism have already canceled trips to the United States. You might do so, too.

   Last week, the US president threatened a 200% tariff on European wine and alcohol after calling the European Union “one of the most hostile and abusive taxing and tariffing authorities in the World”.

   Why reward this bellicose rhetoric? Many Europeans are already skipping trips to Disney World and music festivals.”

     @aral I have no intention of going to US atm, even withdrew a CFP I had submitted to a conference, despite I would love to do so. Definitely not buying a Tesla.
