David HoIt’s probably not a good sign when your closest ally issues a travel warning against you.

Just a note, not 9 months ago our closest ally was arguably Canada.

It’s probably not a good sign when your closest ally detains your citizens and locks them in prison instead of putting them on the next plane back to you.

🔏 Matthias Wiesmann@davidho I think ”ex-ally” is more appropriate at this point…
xs4me2Well that is clear isn't it....
morfil (any)🌈@davidho germany was first I seem to remember: https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/03/19/germany-tightens-travel-advice-to-us-after-three-citizens-detained

Treefolk@davidho I thought Canada was the USA's closest ally. But then I remembered the Canada/US trade war happening.
@ NovaNaturalist HAS ALSO MOVEDIts probably not a good sign when progressive Americans have embraced the Trumpian idea that Canada is not their closest ally.
Canadian Crone@davidho @markcarney #PMMC #CdnPoli It’s time for Canada 🇨🇦 to do the same. Be warned that you can be arrested, detained and held indefinitely without due process. No Canadian travelling to, or passing through the US, is protected from this arbitrary detention. Even with all your papers and documents in order, if #ICE decides to search your phone, iPad, etc. and discovers articles, comments, discussions that speak against #donald, you are at risk.
Carl (He/Him)@davidho It's a good sign, if your goal is isolation. The MAGA vibe is very isolationist.
Peter Brown@davidho the implications are massive because travel insurance usually does not extend to countries for which a travel warning has been issued by the British government
Iris Young (he/they/she) (PhD)@peterbrown @davidho I don't think this is the category of warning you describe. It looks like the standard guidance with updated emphasis and detail, not an advisory against travel -- but if I'm wrong, I'd be very interested to get a source for that!
@peterbrown @davidho 100% endorse this stance.
Konrad Rudolph@davidho This information does not seem to be accurate: The UK’s travel advice for the USA was last updated 7 days ago. https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/usa
Djembro, RO, supports 🇺🇦🇬🇪@davidho
It’s pretty weak, as travel warnings go. I’m waiting for something like: “Travel to the USA is discouraged at this time due to upheavals in the government that have resulted in the detention, abuse, and deportation of foreign visitors. If travel to the USA is required, travelers are advised to consult Special Bulletin FM-2025-027 for additional guidance. Note that all electronic devices such as phones and laptops are subject to examination by US authorities. Criticism of the US President is not tolerated.”

Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈@davidho Britain ain't Gilead's closest ally, the Special Relationship was something cooked up in Whitehall to convince Brits we were still relevant after WWII
When Israel issues a travel warning, that'll be 'Gilead's closest ally' giving a warning.
Gilead couldn't give a single fuck about our Island, we're nobody.
Luther Blissett@davidho Actually, the United Snakes closest Ally is the Israeli colonial project.
