Not "afraid," but unwilling to travel there, and have just cancelled some plans to do so.

I'd have been travelling by air from Canada, so the border-crossing is on Canadian soil, which (probably) greatly reduces the risk of landing in detention due to the arbitrary decisions made by a MAGA-addled CBP agent.

Personal risk of harm or imprisonment aside, I have ethical concerns about continuing to behave as if the US is a normal, rational actor on the world stage while its administration threatens the sovereignty of Canada, Denmark and Panama.

As long as this bellicosity continues, the US should be shunned and isolated as much as possible by the global community.
