Summary

Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich urged a global boycott of U.S. travel to protest Trump’s policies, warning his administration is “brutally attacking U.S. democracy.”

In a Guardian op-ed, Reich called on foreign visitors, students, and skilled workers to reconsider coming, citing economic and safety concerns. He argued withholding tourism revenue could pressure Trump.

His plea follows Trump’s anti-immigration crackdown and rising tensions with Canada.

Reich’s call comes as Canadian travel to the U.S. has already shown signs of decline.

    It’s not necessarily about changing anything. It’s a matter of safety for those visiting.

      The coasts are still fairly safe, but I see your point.

      I personally sent my family to Europe last year, they’re citizens but our child is interracial, and being brown I know exactly what that means wrt the absolute subhuman monsterous filth in the south.
