Speculation

With reciprocal agreements between countries, could this mean the end of the ESTA for Europeans and everyone having to get B1/B" visas to visit the USA?

Don't they already get issued a 3/6 month tourist VISA on entry?

I guess it makes sense to reciprocate the ESTA program but probably not much more than that.

Good initiative of the EU to start self-decommissioning of the EU.

I see it as a big plus for US. Do we really need all of those unvetted Europeans here anyway?

But.. looking on the bright side.. a 90day visa for Spain.. then the same for France.. then Italy.. Yanks on boats could stay in the Med forever..

It looks like this idea is on hold for now.
