Dear MEL Topic Readers,
How US politics is affecting international travel
This year, 11 US cities are hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup events, and
the nation is celebrating its 250th anniversary. In the meantime, federal
agencies are cracking down on immigrants, and National Guard troops have been
deployed in major cities like Los Angeles, Memphis, Portland, and even the nation’s
capital, Washington DC, and potentially Chicago, New York, and San Francisco.
Also, tensions between protesters and federal agencies in Minneapolis are
rising over the fatal shooting by an ICE agent, and over 100,000 visas have
been revoked since last year. Is the USA still on your travel list?
So far this year, the US conducted airstrikes in Caracas, Venezuela’s
capital, and captured President Maduro, expressed its intention to acquire
Greenland, and threatened Iran, Cuba, Colombia, and even Mexico. Is it still
safe to visit these countries? You definitely want to check the foreign ministry’s
travel advice and restrictions on these countries. If you’re still going, double-check
your travel insurance coverage and updates to find if you’re still covered by the
policy in the countries you’re visiting.
Read the article and find out how recent moves by the US government are
affecting international travel.
