Euro lawmakers press EU to impose visas on U.S. citizens

The European Union’s parliament on Thursday asked for the bloc to scrap visa-free travel for U.S. citizens within two months in retaliation for the U.S. continuing to exclude five EU countries from its no-visa regime. However, the economic cost of imposing visa restrictions on the millions of American tourists and business travelers who visit Europe each year is a major disincentive. The Wall Street Journal reported the resolution reflects hostility among some European politicians to U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.
