Europeans Cancel US Trips Amid Trump's Immigration Policies

Recent political and immigration policies under President Trump have led to a notable decline in European tourism to the United States. A mix of strict immigration protocols and growing disapproval of Trump's conduct has prompted many travelers, including those from Denmark and Germany, to cancel or reconsider their trips. Reports indicate a 1% decline in travel from Western Europe in February 2025, a significant shift from the previous year's growth. The tightening of visa regulations, along with warnings from US embassies regarding potential deportations for those deemed a national security risk, has intensified this trend. Economic impacts are anticipated, given that European tourists contributed over $155 billion to the US economy in 2023. As a result, many are opting to visit Canada or other destinations instead.
