当分Trumpのいるアメリカには行かない!

 

あの「大きな顔」の人がいる国には当分行かない。多くの人がそう思っていると思う。
アメリカでももうそれが問題になっているようだ。数百人の雇用が生まれたとか威張ってみても足もとが崩れるのでは?(そういう日本も・・・)

そういえば、YCUの先生も、「アメリカは自分の意思表明が不自由の国、日本の方がよほど自由だ」と言ってた。Harvard Univでの1年間のサバティカルを終えての感想というから怖い。

Ok… I was not to continue wasting my time on US politics but seriously is reaching a level where the credibility of a whole nation and not any little nation, is totally at stake! I wish us all luck but particularly those that still believe he will Make America Great Again!

Trump’s travel ban is causing a large drop in US tourism

By Christopher Muther GLOBE STAFF  FEBRUARY 14, 2017

President Trump’s travel ban targeting nationals of seven Muslim-majority countries may not have held up in court, but it appears quite successful at keeping plenty of other people out of the United States.

Trump’s order brought with it a swift decline in the number of worldwide tourists and travelers looking to visit the United States, say people in the tourism industry. Some say it could be as damaging to the US tourism sector as the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Online booking websites reported that flight searches from international points of origin to the United States were down anywhere from 6 percent to 17 percent since Trump signed the executive order on Jan. 27. But experts say what’s more alarming is the icy message it sends to the world.

“The US is in danger of taking the same path it took after Sept. 11, which led to a decade of economic stagnation in the travel and tourism sector,” said David Scowsill, president and CEO of the World Travel & Tourism Council. “Strict visa policies and inward-looking sentiment led to a $600 billion loss in tourism revenues in the decade post 9/11.”

Just last week the US Travel Association reported that in 2016, the number of international tourists had finally returned to pre-Sept. 11 numbers.

さあ、どうなるか??
