has developed a map highlighting areas across Europe with current U.S. travel advisories in effect, showing that both Romania and Bulgaria fall under the lowest risk category, whereas Sweden and the Netherlands share the same advisory level as Kosovo.
Why It Matters
While many of America’s travel advisories for Europe have been in place for longer than the current administration, recent weeks have seen a growing number of European countries issue travel warnings for their citizens traveling to the U.S.
Earlier this month, Germany,
the United Kingdom,
Both Finland and Denmark have updated their official guidelines, stating that entering the U.S. is not assured and emphasizing that travelers might encounter heightened checks at the border.
These kinds of notifications are not always unusual, but they arise against a backdrop of changing global political landscapes, with President
Donald Trump
presenting the EU with an ultimatum
, together with Canada, issuing a warning that they will be subjected to “significant tariffs” if they cause economic damage to the U.S.
There are also
concerns that Trump might withdraw the U.S. from NATO
, or substantially decrease the U.S. contribution, as the European Commission instructed European families to
amass enough supplies for three days
.
What To Know
The only nations with a Level 4 “do not travel” warning are Ukraine and Belarus, whereas no countries presently fall into the Level 3 “reconsider travel” classification.
Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Albania, Kosovo and Moldova are under a Level 2 “exercise increased caution” advisory.
Iceland, Ireland, Portugal, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, Malta, Czechia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Andorra, Estonia, Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Finland and Norway are all under a Level 1 “exercise normal precautions.”
It should be highlighted that the majority of these warnings have existed for a period exceeding the duration of the Trump administration. This indicates that they are not related to the present conflicts.
For instance, the Level 2 alert for the United Kingdom was released last September due to worries about terrorism.
The advisory states, “Terrorist organizations persist in planning potential assaults within the United Kingdom. Additionally, there is a danger of sporadic violent acts carried out by fringe factions in Northern Ireland, mainly targeting law enforcement and military entities.”
Since President Trump assumed office on January 20, the sole travel advisories released have pertained to Andorra at Level 1 (March 25), Norway at Level 1 (February 3), and Portugal at Level 1 (March 3).
What People Are Saying
The European Parliament President Roberta Metsola stated on Tuesday as follows:
“Two-thirds of Europeans desire the
EU
To take a more significant part in safeguarding them. This represents an unmistakable demand for action, one we shall address. Europe requires fortification to make certain its populace feels secure. The European Parliament guarantees that each presented proposal is sufficiently daring and aspirational to align with the severe threats confronting Europe. Europe has to elevate itself now, otherwise, it might face being overridden subsequently.”
On Thursday, Trump posted on Truth Social saying:
“If the
European Union
collaborates with Canada to inflict economic damage on the USA, extensive tariffs significantly higher than what is presently proposed will be imposed on both nations to safeguard their most cherished ally they have ever had!”
What Happens Next
The consequences of the split between the U.S. and Europe remain unclear. Trump’s fresh auto tariffs are scheduled to take effect on April 3rd.
