WASHINGTON President Donald Trump threatened undefined retaliation Friday against countries and organizations that issue travel warnings on the United States because of gun violence.
He added: "We are a very reciprocal nation with me as the head. When somebody does something negative to us in terms of a country, we do it to them."
Amnesty International and a growing list of countries have begun issuing warnings about travel to the United States because of gun violence, including mass shootings over the weekend in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.
Know the risks: Travel advisories by country
Warnings: Amnesty International issues warning about travel to US amid 'high levels of gun violence'
Warnings, which are of varying degrees of intensity, have come from a list of countries that include Uruguay, Venezuela, Japan, Germany, Ireland, Canada and New Zealand.

(10,178 posts)People across this country are out and about daily without ever seeing gun violence---I never have,and most haven't seen it.
So, not a problem rising to level of Advisory until MOST people in the US see gun violence directly?

The advisories are normal. We do that to other countries when a specific condition in those countries warrant American citizens being told to exercise caution when going to those countries, or not go at all.

Walmart is one messed up and un-American company

I dont know if they could find a person to be president who would be inept than Trump..., or else more determined to destroy the country.

(11,949 posts)I just reserved a room on Floridas Nature coast at a cool old style Florida inn right on the water with docks for your boat. When you get their list of rules one states prominently no firearms allowed on property, even concealed. Basically telling gun nuts they are not welcomed.
They get lots of foreign guests. It pathetic we have reached that point.
I sent them an email thanking them for the policy.

(61,872 posts)America would negotiate with the aggrieved countries to find an alternative. This isn't the first time some country has issued a travel warning about visiting the USA.
Every responsible country looks out for its nationals abroad. Now that the far right has declared open season on immigrants in addition to the almost daily mass shootings, they have every reason to be concerned.
