Protests against Trump: No travel warning for the USA!

There are currently large-scale protests against President Trump's migration policy in the USA. Hundreds of people demonstrate in various cities, including Los Angeles, against the president's political decisions. In response to the protests, Trump has ordered the US Department of Defense to mobilize 2,000 additional National Guard soldiers and 700 Marines in Los Angeles. Last weekend, 2,000 National Guardsmen were mobilized to keep the situation under control.

However, the Foreign Office in Germany sees no reason to issue a travel warning for the USA. According to a recent announcement, travel warnings are only issued if there is an immediate danger to life and limb. Travelers are urged to stay informed about the local situation through local media and to avoid crowds that could potentially become violent.

Recommendations for travelers

The Federal Foreign Office has published the travel and safety instructions, which are continually reviewed and adjusted. Travelers should read the instructions carefully before each planned trip and mark their travel destination in the “Safe Travel” app. It is also recommended to register on the ELEFAND crisis preparedness list in order to be informed quickly in an emergency.

Although the situation in the USA is tense, the German travel warning has not been issued. At the same time, the Federal Foreign Office urges caution and recommends conscientious information gathering about current events on site. This is particularly important as political tensions in the US could directly affect travelers.

In comparison, the Foreign Office has also issued a travel warning for Israel and the Palestinian territories, which underlines the complexity of the current security situation. Information about this can be found on the website of Mirror be read.
