Don’t blame us Americans. It’s you Europeans who helped get this bozo elected!
This is relatively little compared to what it costs them to actually travel here, but it used to be a “free” country. The US is within its rights as a sovereign country to do this, but whether it’s a smart PR move is for the pundits to debate.
I could see popular travel destinations, perhaps, offering a $14 rebate to Swedish visitors if they wished.
Why pay a fee to visit the U.S. when you can pay nothing and just live here worry-free?
Instead of border fences, we should set up walk through tollbooths on the Mexican border.
We already have the rudest, nastiest immigration officers in the entire world - a few dollars cover charge just adds insult to injury. :)
I don’t see the issue here - any sovereign nation has the righnt to charge fees. Offended nations should simply return the favour and add on an extra 10% for admin charges.
There are bigger issues to be worried abut in the world than this.
