Careful visiting U.S., some countries say

GUN VIOLENCE and potential terrorist attacks top the list of reasons why some countries are urging their citizens to think carefully before traveling to the U.S.

In the wake of Sunday night’s attack in Las Vegas and hurricanes that ravaged some states, the German government updated its travel safety page to include the the massacre and storms, but also lists “frequent political demonstrations” and “politically motivated violence” as reasons to be vigilant while traveling. The United Kingdom’s foreign travel page says terrorists are “very likely to try to carry out attacks in the USA,” and people should avoid Las Vegas.
