Countries such as Germany, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom are warning of risks such as terrorism, violent crime, and stricter immigration laws. Canada and Australia have also issued warnings. The White House is now responding to the increasing travel warnings for the USA. What the White House is saying White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt assured "Newsweek": "The United States is a great place to do business and a beautiful place to visit. You should come here, as it is a much safer country than it was four years ago under the previous president." The USA itself, however, has issued Level 4 travel warnings for countries such as Afghanistan, North Korea, and Russia, which are consistent with similar travel warnings issued by other countries. German Foreign Office warns of arrests and detention pending deportation New Zealand, for example, has placed the US at Level 2, "increased caution." This classification has been in effect since the end of November 2024 and highlights risks such as violent crime and active shootings. The German Foreign Office warns of possible arrests, detention pending deportation, and detention orders when traveling to the United States, even for travelers with visas or ESTA, as reported by "Spiegel." A spokesperson for the German Foreign Ministry noted that the final decision regarding entry rests with the US border authorities. The United Kingdom, as well as Canada and Australia, also warn of strict entry regulations and advise travelers to meet all entry requirements to avoid detention.
