    Return the favour, see what the us money says. Make them come to Europe for the meeting or zoom it. Until us-ians feel pain it’s just a strange reality tv show they can ignore.

    > Lawyers said tech and C-suite executives were among those to have had visas denied apparently on the basis of comparatively minor historic offences such as cannabis use, bar fights and driving under the influence of alcohol, in a sign of how far-reaching the US anti-immigration drive has become.

    It wasn't clear to me from the article whether this applied to UK citizens or citizens working in the UK under a visa? Maybe someone can clarify or point out where I missed this clarification.

    I'd also like to point out that, while this is probably boneheaded, many countries have asinine visa rules.

    Take Canada:

    Or the UK:

    You aren't permitted to be there on a student visa and also make money from YouTube or other similar sites. Though anything that reduces "influencers" is a net good so I'm not actually complaining about this, but mainstream viewpoints find this jarring.
