Not a problem I have no interest in travelling to the US.

Plummeting visitor numbers are not plummeting fast enough, apparently (I get that access to the U.S. is still considered valuable, but perhaps not as much as they think).

I am sure the Europeans are upset that they can't go on holidays in the US anymore.

While bad for universities, this kind of threat will not coerce Europeans to gut their regulations.

Maybe time the rest of the world starts putting visa restrictions on foreign officials threatening penalties for exercising sovereignty.

This new Pierre Laval is gonna turn out way worse than the original version.

Extraterritoriality gone insane.

Little Marco should be quiet.

Canadians should only worry if they plan to visit the US...

Marco needs to look in a mirror. This administration is the one attacking free speech and those with different opinions.

Is he trying to protect us from going there and being arbitrarily detained for social media posts? I mean that isn’t… *checks notes*… censorship… is it?

Nobody knows.
It’s unknowable.
And changeable.

Your definitions of your rights, or the lack thereof, ends at your border. The rights Americans are subject to are those defined in those countries they visit. You don't like it then do not visit. Little Sycophant Marco Rubio can go wrestle with a Polar Bear while smothered in seal blubber!

and wow, do I ever love our short election seasons in Canada! US elections are exhausting.

We still don't count media stories that take sides as political donations. And we should.
But yes, the Americans are pissed we are seeing through the medias BS and election interference.
