For that case, try international sanctions - of which, yes, increasing visa requirements or banning entry bar special cases (say a Salvadorian having family in the EU) certainly is an option that should be discussed.
The EU has strength through the size of its population and economy, and it's time we finally start playing our cards instead of just bending over.
- ghaff 2y agoAs someone who travels from the US to Europe a lot, my reaction would be sadly shrug my shoulders and not travel to the EU any longer if the requirements were as onerous as, say, China or Russia. (Letters from an organization, etc.) Yes, the UK put ETA in place but that's trivial and mostly symbolic. Took me about 2 minutes to complete which was mostly about grabbing my passport to get the number.
