  In this case, however, it is a white British national. It doesn’t seem to fit into the racist rhetoric that normally comes out of this administration, instead being a broader targeting of foreigners in general. (This of course not being the only case of Europeans facing problems)

  Racism is a huge factor, but it seems the end goal goes further towards complete isolationism.

  I used to take semi-regular business trips to the US, but I think from this point I will try to move everything online. Aside from it not being safe for me in other ways, all it would take is someone with a suspicion that my work on the trip is “illegal” to send me to prison :/

  I had two 0,5 Pils for dinner too many nights when I was still in university 😅

  I’ve thought about this too. There is no proof that he is one, and there is a chance that this all comes from his own stupidity, but if he were a Russian asset, he would act exactly as he is now.

  Thank you for the corrections! I had no idea it was so simple. I think my colleague had problems because she wasn’t aware of the FBAR for a few years.

  Important note about this (though I don’t know how much you earn): you can only exempt up to 120000 dollar equivalent per year, and you must still file your taxes every year with the American government even if you don’t live there. Non-US bank accounts and investments also must be declared, even if you no longer live there.

  I’m not American myself, but a colleague of mine is and she has mentioned having trouble with American agencies because some of these points (specifically the bank account point if I remember correctly).
