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.

    Yeah. Germany had more turnout on the streets against a far right populist party who isn’t even in power. Germany has around than 1/4 the population of the US. And go to hell with “population centres far apart,etc.” It’s simply not a valid argument.
