EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT STRICKENS VISA REGULATIONS FOR AMERICANS

Did you hear about the European Union cutting free-visa access to U.S. Citizens? Read here for the reasons why in my new article on The Lexington Line website here.

"Earlier last week, members of European Parliament (MEPs) voted to end visa-free travel for U.S. Citizens. Jon Sharman from Independent says that this is in response to a continuing dispute between the United States and five European Union (EU) nations over visa restrictions being undermined.

Bulgaria, Croatia, Poland, Romania, and Cyprus called on Washington D.C. to grant their countries visa-free access to the U.S. as the other twenty-three nations of the EU already have access to. The U.S. has yet to set any regulations allowing easy passage like other EU Nations. Instead, the US Department of Homeland Security states that the five nations are not eligible in joining the visa waiver program, reasons not stated. This weakens a key concept that all EU nations must be treated equally." -Madison Ross, 2017
