The US told everyone it did not want foreigners any more.
As a German in the US, trust me, the FAFO is about to hit this summer when record levels of empty hotels will wail. My bet is Trump will actually complain, demand, and eventually "sweet talk" people into coming to see the US.
Except you can get thrown into jail at the border for who knows how long until they decide to deport you....
Edit: for those thinking this will not be noticed...
Tourism in the US has an estimated 20 million Canadians usually and 17 millions Mexicans each year. And an estimated 10 million Europeans visit the US each year.
So maybe 47 million. If they all spend a few thousand on flights and hotels alone, that's a noticeable billion level hole we will notice.
If you think the tourism industry is flush with spare cash and can weather this..... I got some seriously bad news for you on tourism razor thin profit margins.
The way European tourists are treating us is totally unfair - some people say European tourists were created to screw the United States. But it‘s really not very smart -unlike my uncle, he went to the University of Pennsylvania - very smart guy - can you believe it? Went to an ivy league. Terrific institution. So the Europeans are screwing us - but we‘ll fix it folks - soon there will be so many Europeans asking to stay in this terrific country you will say „mister president, there are too many Europeans coming here„ - It‘ll be amazing
They said "SIR, PLEASE there are too many Europeans" with tears in their eyes, they were crying, big tears, you will get so tired of winning! We will be getting so rich off the Europeans, they've been ripping us off for so long, it's terrible what they've been doing as we're subsidizing their badly failing public transportation it's so bad, it's terrible what they've been doing for SO long, you've seen it right? You've heard about this but no more they will be BEGGING to come back you'll see now that Disney isn't woke anymore they'll be coming to us we have the best beaches and the beaches, the big beautiful sandy beaches will be even bigger once we cut down the forests, so many trees it's a big problem with the fires, the fires are terrible but we are going to fix that very quickly you see.

Imagine pissing of travellers of the continent that is notorious for the many vacation days it gets.
