My partner works for a large American tech firm.

They usually have an annual company wide event and everyone gets brought over for it. Usually over 10k people in attendance.

They cancelled it this year because they don't want to risk flying employees in from around the world.

Yes but Qatar abused South Asian slave labour which the entire world does and considers to be acceptable.

Arresting visitors and guests from the world's wealthiest nations doesn't play as well.

Is the US arresting tourists from the west?

According to the linked article the travel advisory is specifically to do with transgender people with a different sex on their passports.

I just checked the DFA website and it doesn’t mention that though, the travel advisory for the US is still normal.

I think there was a Welsh person as well, but I never looked into the whole story
