BERLIN, March 19 (Reuters) - Germany updated its travel advisory for the United States to emphasise that a visa or entry waiver does not guarantee entry for its citizens after several Germans were detained at the border recently, a foreign ministry spokesperson said.

The ministry updated its travel advice website for the U.S. on Tuesday to clarify that neither approval through the U.S. ESTA system nor a U.S. visa entitles entry in every case.

Even if they have a current visa or entry waiver, the German visitors may be detained at our border.

In 2023, nearly 2 million German tourists visited the United States.
Economic Impact: Germany is the third largest contributor to the US tourism sector, bringing in over $8 billion. So much pointless Trump destruction.

Negative personal opinion about Trump can get your entry to the US denied.

Even if you are a researcher heading to a conference.

We are getting to ridiculous undemocratic levels [here]

but maybe Drumpf is just wanting to drive the non-Trump hotels out of business so he can pick them up cheap. Elon will help if he has any money left in a couple of months.
