Norway, Ireland, Germany Warn Citizens Traveling to US

Several European countries, including Norway, Germany, and the United Kingdom, have recently updated their travel advisories for citizens planning to visit the United States due to increased scrutiny and potential detentions at U.S. borders. Norway's foreign ministry warned its citizens of tighter entry conditions, while the UK's Foreign Office emphasized the strict enforcement of U.S. entry rules, which have led to the detention of tourists despite valid travel documents. Germany's advisory highlighted that having a visa or ESTA does not guarantee entry, cautioning travelers of possible detention. Additionally, Denmark and Finland issued specific warnings for transgender travelers, citing risks related to documentation and gender recognition. Ireland also updated its guidance for trans citizens, reflecting concerns over recent U.S. policies that affect gender recognition. These advisories reflect growing apprehension among European nations regarding the treatment of their citizens in the U.S.
