We’ve lost $60 billion in tourism this year alone. Just in the month of June we lost 33,000 jobs. Go look at the jobs reports from the four previous years. Does the states need help? YUP! https://youarehereinfo.com
I lived in Boston for a few years back in the 90’s (legal, green card holder) but moved back to Ireland.
My kids wanted to visit NYC this year, but it was a hard no from me.
What Trump has done to the US really puts me off wanting to spend time or money in that country.
Many Europeans (including myself) have been moving away from US companies for online services (in my case, moving from Apple Music to Spotify, and now seriously looking at a FreePhone as my iPhone 11 Pro starts to age). I don’t think I’ve ever seen this broad level of anti-US sentiment before in Europe.
Trump has shown that the US isn’t a trusted ally of Europe and must be considered in the same vein as China. Which is crazy.
It’s a trust issue and it’ll take years to resolve.
On the upside, finally Europe is starting to stand up and fund its own defence.
