@redlilly The UK is not a state sponsor of terrorism, nor do we have bad relations with the US, so it’s almost impossible to conceive of a scenario where the UK would be dropped from the ESTA scheme. If Trump abolished the ESTA scheme the US would pretty much collapse as there are already massive backlogs in full visa applications.

The amount of tourism revenue the US recieves is a significant contributor to its economy, it would be a financial distaster.


@RonnieB
The dollar is unlikely to strengthen any more, in fact it dipped a little over the past couple of days, and as for the tariffs, he will add some so that he can say he kept to his election promise but they won’t be as sweeping as his earlier rhetoric. High tarrifs=higher prices=higher inflation at the factory door. He was elected on a mandate to lower inflation so he’s on a knife edge.
Increased border security will only apply if you’re coming in from Mexico by land, there’s unlikely to be any change for anyone coming in by air from other countries.
