Figures from the US International Trade Administration reveal the number of visitors from Australia in March was down by 7% when compared to March 2024, making it the biggest decline since March 2021, when overseas travel was being impacted by the pandemic. Tourism Economics stated on Friday that the Trump administration was having a negative impact on international travellers in terms of the US as a place to visit, due to "heightened border security measures and visible immigration enforcement actions".

United Airlines has reported a fall in the number of Australian tourists flying to the US. Brian Znotins, vice-president for network planning at the airline, believes that this trend is the result of the weakness of the Australian dollar against the US currency. There will be no increase in the airline’s services from Sydney and Melbourne to Los Angeles.
