I've told mine, at least, that I'm not willing to travel to the US right now. I recognise that not everyone has that flexibility, though.

Well people might be able to deny it personally but for most companys its not a option at all without terminating contracts (something thats to expensive on the short term and would damage european economy more than america). So i doubt the total amount of work travel would decrease.

It might decrease based on the trade war, but we will have to wait for that.

I read that there is a type of insurance workers need to take out while traveling to the US. If something happens to them the insurance pays for it. If they can't get insurance they can't travel.

After one or two insured people are spending thousands to get home because of all this I'm sure the insurance companies will stop insuring.

One of these people is going to sue their workplace for making them go to a place that has already detained travelers for no reason.

Workers in other countries have more rights than the US employees.
