Increased anxiety surrounds travel to the US due to stricter immigration policies under the Trump administration, leading to detentions and deportations, even for accidental visa violations.

Several countries have updated travel advisories, warning citizens about potential issues, though the UK Foreign Office hasn't advised against travel, provided entry conditions are met.

Concerns exist regarding heightened security screenings, device confiscation, social media checks, and potential problems for transgender and nonbinary travellers due to gender policy changes.

Data indicates a significant drop in European travellers to the US, leading airlines to reduce summer prices.

Cancelling pre-booked trips might not be straightforward, as standard refund policies apply unless the Foreign Office changes its travel advice. (The Independent UK)
