Honest question, do you complain that USA implemented this same type program in 2008/2009? Or do you just care now because this affects US travelers?
I mean both ways. US implemented it first, Europe implemented it in return. Idiotic and unnecessary and political and, apparently, unavoidable now.
I wasn't aware EU travellers had to get a visa to enter the US.
When I flew to the EU and eastern Europe in 2019, I didn't need a visa. I didn't need to tell anyone my exact dates and itinerary. I paid for a ticket, had a passport, and went.
Yes, we have needed an ESTA for a long time now.
