Since Trump became president for his second term in 2025, less non-citizens are visiting the United States. There are several factors such as tighter border security, tariffs, and his overall attitude towards America and foreigners that makes it unappealing to visit. "The federal government's National Travel and Tourism Office released preliminary figures on Tuesday showing visits to the United States from overseas fell 11.6 percent in March compared to the same month last year," according to Global Nation Inquirer.net

Yes, this is true the ever since Trump became president again in 2025 many tourists are afraid of traveling to the US. Tourists are saying that they feel unsafe on US grounds and don't necessarily wanna support the US economy especially when it's destabilizing others countries. Also with tighter border control and more deportations been made in the US, foreigners are just reluctant because of fears of being mistreated. 'Trump Slump' Looms as Foreign Visitors Rethink Travel to U.S.The New York Timeshttps://www.nytimes.com › 2025/03/26 › travel › forei...

Your reply to this claim is very well made, the use of two sources as well as bringing in your own opinion of this matter. Very well done.

You make a strong point about how political leadership and immigration policies can reduce tourism. I especially appreciate how you connected current fears to broader issues like U.S. foreign policy and economic influence.

You did a great job recognizing that the claim "Foreigners no longer want to visit the United States" is true and is supported by a credible and reliable website. Additionally, I liked how you included how political changes affect tourism and people's safety because it explains the reasons behind the decrease in tourism.

Your links are very helpful at backing your reasoning and are very informational. Your claim as well is equally clear and easy to understand. I do wish however you would have added a bit more facts and/or statistics to your claim which would have helped reinforce why you chose the links you chose. Overall your claim is correct and the links are helpful.

A very well-made claim and a sensible one; I feel that tourism is declining in the US and will continue to do so.

Your reply is really good and you're right, since Trump returned to office in 2025, international tourism to the U.S. has declined, a trend named the “Trump Slump.” Stricter immigration policies, increased deportations, and a perception of the U.S. as unwelcoming have made many foreign tourists feel unsafe and unwelcome, leading them to avoid traveling to the U.S. altogether.

Yes this is true. This in part due to relationships between the USA and its trading allies becoming strained. Additionally according to independent co (https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/tourists-cancelling-holidays-us-america-b2754295.html) foregners 14 or older need to submit fingerpreints if they stay longer than 30 days. This is making seem like the USA doesnt trust foregners and its harming the economy as a whole. in short, the USA is acting like it want tourism, severing relationships, and making people feel unsafe which is leading to a decrease in tourism.

I agree with you since recently trump has been elected president the population of travel has decreased tremendously due to a lot of laws being changed and also due to the country being violent and have a different perspective on people who aren't republican. The artice I found says that alot of visitors are being stopped and detained and even getting banned from the U.S for no major reasoning. They aren't smuggling ay drugs or anything there just being banned without real reason. It says travelers fear to what might happen to them if they land in the U.S because they don't know what will happen to them.

Yes, this is true. Since Trump became president there has been a decrease of non-citizens coming to the US. Tourists reported to being arrested at the border, and some citizens of other countries are staying away from the US and choosing other places to travel instead.

I noticed that your article doesn't state its author, or at least not in an obvious way. This can make this source unreliable, as there could be a chance it was posted by a bot or someone with no professional knowledge of what they're talking about. You should also use more sources than the one already offered.

According to Oxford Economics, your claim that foreigners do not want to visit the U.S. is projected to be true. Research shows that international visitors are expected to decline about 9.4% as well as a 5% loss of visitor spending estimated to be about $9 billion. Data collected showing the number of visitors form different countries show major declines from 2024-2025, with Mexico showing a 18.3% for all visitors dropping to -8% and Canada according fro -1.3% dropping all the way down to -20.2%. Trumps rhetoric and policies implemented are not helping either, as many visitors are scared of his new immigration policies worried about being possibly being detained by ICE just for visiting as well as weakened foreign relations due to huge tariffs placed by Trump.

Yes, since Trump has come into office, there. There has been a noticeable decline in foreign tourism. However, this could be due to a multitude of reasons, such as border congestion, new domestic and foreign policies, and, of course, the fear of imprisonment in the United States.
