| In tit-for-tat move, EU to end visa-free travel for Americans |
| 2017-03-04 |
| [DAWN] The European Parliament on Friday voted to end visa-free travel for American citizens in the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... , The Independent reported. The decision made by the parliament's civil liberties committee follows the United States' failure to agree to visa-free travel of citizens of five EU countries including Romania, Poland, Cyprus, Bulgaria and Croatia under a reciprocity agreement. The European Commission had discovered three years earlier that the US was not meeting its obligations under the agreement, but has yet to take legal action regarding the matter. The parliament's vote means that American citizens will have to apply for travel documents for the next 12 months and it comes after US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... signed an executive order in January banning all im The seven countries initially mentioned in the order were Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, but Iraq was recently dropped from the 'ban' list. |

| #3 Effect on tourism? Cutting off the nose to teach the face a lesson. We were thinking about a trip to the EU in 2018, but there's still England, Scotland, and Ireland(s). Down Under is so far away. |

| #1 Does this include the UK? We're going over this summer for a friend's son's wedding and, as we have never needed visas before, this could be a pain if it takes a long time. |
