Portugal issues travel warning for US
Portugal has joined several other European states in updating its travel advice for the US.
It appears that these countries now have some form of warning associated with travelling to the USA:
- Australia
- Belgium
- Canada
- Denmark
- Finland
- France
- Germany
- Ireland
- Mexico
- Netherlands
- New Zealand
- Norway
- Portugal
- United Kingdom
Congrats US, not far to go to be on par with Afghanistan and Syria
Dude, stop posting this comment. It is wildly inaccurate. There is no travel advisory from Australia everything is hunky-dory.
Either turn the country names into hyperlinks linking to the travel advisory or stop spreading misinformation.
This gives people a false sense that countries are standing up to the US where in reality that isn’t happening yet. I’ve just finished studying the climate for nearly 20 years and I’m done with hopium.
ETA: your entire post history is constantly responding to people asking for a source. You’re not kind to the people who just want information, You’re not kind to yourself, And you’re causing all these servers to spin up more pollution just because you can’t deliver information efficiently. People like you drive me mad
If you actually READ the sentence above the growing list of countries, you'd see the words "some form of travel warning".
The Smart Traveller link you keep responding with, lists a whole washing list of "normal" precautions to take when you visit the USA, including but not limited to: protests, violence, terrorism, guns, etc. Seriously, the advice includes getting active shooter training. That's not normal in any sense of the word.
In addition, the page states that you can apply for an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), which if you'd done your research before blasting me, you'd discover is at the heart of many of the warnings issued by other countries. Specifically, if your passport doesn't match your gender assigned at birth, then your ESTA will, apparently, cause you to be turned back or locked up.
Then there's this page: https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/before-you-go/who-you-are/LGBTQIA
I won't be losing any sleep about my attempts to inform people about the reality of travelling to the USA at this time.
Mexico issued a warning about traveling to Texas due to measles https://www.gob.mx/salud/documentos/aviso-preventivo-de-viaje-por-sarampion-en-texas-ee-uu

What I can mainly find about Austrialia is that that a local LGBTIQ+ organization called “Equality Australia” has released a 5 page document to warn people.
The Netherlands doesn't have any particular warning regarding travelling to the US.
Newsweek is famous for sensationalized headlines. The actual article is correct, but the headlines barely match the article. This website is built for being posted to reddit, where hardly anyone will click the link let alone actually read the article.
During the election, they'd post articles like "Trump DEVASTATED by new poll results", and it would be something like Trump being down 1.5%.
The travel advice from the European countries that have issued a "warning" is that "an ESTA doesn't guarantee entry to the US" and "the decision regarding your entry is made by the customs and border protection officer". That's not a travel warning. None of these countries have said not to go to the US, just that if you choose to go to the US, you are not guaranteed entry.
The Netherlands has issued the closest thing to a travel warning specifically for LGBT people.. They warn that only the gender markers M/F are currently accepted by the US government and link to the human rights watch website regarding safety for LGBT people in the US. That page also has the same "warning" that CBP makes the determination of entry and ESTA doesn't guarantee entry. But literally right at the top of the page, the US is in green, which means that the Dutch government currently considers the US a safe country to visit.
To be clear, I think there should be actual travel warnings against travel to the US. I definitely think the US should be yellow for the Netherlands. But I would not call clarifying border entry proceedures "a travel warning".
