I'm just surprised it's such a short list. I expect it'll be much longer by the summer.

If you think about it, these are government announcements, it's just over two months since the excrement started hitting the rotating equipment.
In that time a country needs to take note of the change in circumstances to its citizens, verify that it's happening systemically and not occasionally, formulate a response, approve the response, and then publish it.
Much of the border issues didn't appear to be visible until a month or so ago.
In other words, I think that this is lightening fast as diplomatic responses go.

Many of the rest already knew.

The girlfriend and I (both Canadian in Canada) were just planning a summer trip to Niagara Falls like 30 minutes ago. Neither of us have been. We were looking at flights and didn't realize we were looking at flights to Niagara Falls airport in the US. We were both like "Whoa. Nope!"
If this had been last year, we would have flown into either airport and visited both sides of the border. But there is not a chance in hell I'm crossing to the US side during this trip. I'm absolutely not taking a chance of wrecking my vacation, or weeks of my life, getting nabbed by some Nazi Ice Bro and shipped to a detention camp in Arizona.

I'm genuinely struggling to see where this is really a bad thing. Then again, I'm also struggling to see where it isn't exactly what was promised during the election. Tighter border controls and firm enforcement of immigration laws and border policies means that less people come in by all means. This outcome is exactly what people voted for.

We unfortunately live in a country where, to travel back home to Canada, we need to stop in a US city along the way. Normally we'd make a trip out of it, but we're trying to minimize our time in the US. First because it's terrifying and second we don't want to contribute to the US economy. Especially since the transit cities we need to pass-through are deeply red.

Those are rookie numbers. We haven’t even gone full fascism.

If you stay in the international terminal, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Statistically, how many thousands of people enter the US every day, versus how many of these incidents have happened? Odds are you'll be totally fine. The risk is higher, yes.

In the US, if you land, you must pass through immigration.
At least I'm not aware of any airports where there is an international terminal like you find elsewhere in the world. Ours require entry to the country even if you are connecting to another international flight.

The bad thing for the US is that its a lot of revenue to lose. This type of thing has knockon effects. America has a very large tourist hospitality sector.
Yes, it was promised but the people thinking it a good thing, who voted for it and are implementing it do not understand how the economy works.

Germany
I don't know for other countries, but Germany has not issued any travel warnings. The page with information to the US is the following: https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/service/laender/usa-node/usavereinigtestaatensicherheit-201382?isLocal=false&isPreview=false. It contains only information, but no advisory against traveling which a warning usually contains stuff that one might call warnings, but they formally aren't. Compare it with https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/suedsudansicherheit-244250: The title of the page contains "(Reisewarnung)" which translates to "warning against travel". The page contains the wording "Vor Reisen nach X wird gewarnt". Only those constitute a warning. No such warning can be found on the page about the US.
Personally, I can only advise against traveling there, but the page for the US has existed basically always. New information was added this month, but the official status / stance on US travel hasn't changed: the US is on the same level as France and Spain.

It appears that Germany has updated their information several times. So much so that your second link gives me a 404 error. There are multiple reports stating that Germany issued a travel warning. The most recent I could find is from three days ago: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/foreign-travel-warnings-about-us-travel.html
There are updates that are older than this that state that Germany changed its report and clarified that they weren't issuing a travel warning specifically, just heightened caution. That seems like "some form of warning" to me.
Australia has similar wording. While it describes the situation as "Green", it talks about heightened levels of alert and crime.
This is precisely why I worded my post: "It appears that these countries now have some form of warning associated with travelling to the USA:" (emphasis added).
I think that the wording that Germany is using falls under this heading.

the second link is just incorrectly linked in the comment, as the colon is included in it. it should be https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/suedsudansicherheit-244250

It hasn't been updated, but Lemmy thinks the colon is part of the URL. https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/suedsudansicherheit-244250 it's not about the US but South Sudan, to show what an official travel warning looks like. The US page is just advisory.

I know in the case of the UK it only happened after a UK citizen was detained, I think Germany might be the same as well
