World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It appears that these countries now have some form of warning associated with travelling to the USA:
I'm just surprised it's such a short list. I expect it'll be much longer by the summer.
If you think about it, these are government announcements, it's just over two months since the excrement started hitting the rotating equipment.
In that time a country needs to take note of the change in circumstances to its citizens, verify that it's happening systemically and not occasionally, formulate a response, approve the response, and then publish it.
Much of the border issues didn't appear to be visible until a month or so ago.
In other words, I think that this is lightening fast as diplomatic responses go.
Likely because these motions were put in place after the first Trump term.
Those are rookie numbers. We haven’t even gone full fascism.
I know in the case of the UK it only happened after a UK citizen was detained, I think Germany might be the same as well
Many of the rest already knew.
I've updated it a couple of times, it's getting longer.
All US allies. Unbelievable.
US allies? I don't see Russia on the list.
As a UK citizen, we know there's a difference between the government and the people. You definitely have a serious problem, but you've not been abandoned. We have issues with Trump and his cronies, not the people of America.
We might be a bit stumped on what we can actually do to help, but you're not alone.
The people of the US made this happen and continue to enable it every day tho. It's a little sad and pathetic that suddenly the 2nd amendment patriots have all mysteriously gone silent.
I'm a UK citizen as well, and I totally 1000% have issues with most of the US people.
Specifically the people who voted for cunt face tRUMP, and also the people who didn't vote at all.
All of those are also to blame for the bullshit that's happening now, not just that disgusting orange bag of pig shit.
Did you accidentally reply to wrong comment? I'm not American.
I don't know for other countries, but Germany has not issued any travel warnings. The page with information to the US is the following: https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/service/laender/usa-node/usavereinigtestaatensicherheit-201382. It contains only information, but no advisory against traveling which a warning usually contains stuff that one might call warnings, but they formally aren't. Compare it with https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/suedsudansicherheit-244250: The title of the page contains "(Reisewarnung)" which translates to "warning against travel". The page contains the wording "Vor Reisen nach X wird gewarnt". Only those constitute a warning. No such warning can be found on the page about the US.
Personally, I can only advise against traveling there, but the page for the US has existed basically always. New information was added this month, but the official status / stance on US travel hasn't changed: the US is on the same level as France and Spain.
It appears that Germany has updated their information several times. So much so that your second link gives me a 404 error. There are multiple reports stating that Germany issued a travel warning. The most recent I could find is from three days ago: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/foreign-travel-warnings-about-us-travel.html
There are updates that are older than this that state that Germany changed its report and clarified that they weren't issuing a travel warning specifically, just heightened caution. That seems like "some form of warning" to me.
Australia has similar wording. While it describes the situation as "Green", it talks about heightened levels of alert and crime.
This is precisely why I worded my post: "It appears that these countries now have some form of warning associated with travelling to the USA:" (emphasis added).
I think that the wording that Germany is using falls under this heading.
the second link is just incorrectly linked in the comment, as the colon is included in it. it should be https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/suedsudansicherheit-244250
It hasn't been updated, but Lemmy thinks the colon is part of the URL. https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/suedsudansicherheit-244250 it's not about the US but South Sudan, to show what an official travel warning looks like. The US page is just advisory.
realistically it's also dangerous to travel to the US if you're in the US
Norway has also issued a travel warning for trans people going to the US
