Obama Policy Null and Void

[Orion21]

Trump just announced the immediate cancellation of the Obama policies that eased restrictions on travel etc.  He's signing the order in minutes.

A great speech by our President.

[PuffDaddie]

I agree a great speech. Semper fi

 from all the Articles written sounds like nothing is definite yet until it's all finalized in the next coming months if not sooner. Besides the Travel which Trump pointed out right away.

I don't even understand what that gesture in the video is supposed to mean.

I think he's laughing in ridicule.

That's a clip of Steve Carell from "The Office".

the office is the one show i can think of where our american friends took a show from offshore and did a version that did the original justice. two different shows - the UK one is the most cringe-worthy thing i have ever seen - but i love them both.

Just an FYI for those that may be curious about the new restrictions...this FAQ from the Treasury sums it up pretty well:

Nothing about any changes to the current policy allowing CC’s to be brought back to the US. No news is good news.

I agree, for now.  It may not have been addressed yet but the Spidey Sense tells me not to hold out hope.  Until the regs are published it is a guessing game.

Came through Houston recently and the custom's agent I dealt with had an issue with the cuban cigars I brought back due to the Trump announcement....luckily, the supervisor waived me through as no new amendments/regs have been published yet....business as usual for now...

[luv2fly]

That sucks but good the supervisor stepped in.  Have a friend coming back from Italy with some goodies.  Hope he does not have the same problem.

I've made two trips since the Trump announcement and LAX customs still doesn't care. I've declared twice and been waived through twice without a second look.

I've traveled twice since the "changes" were announced. I came back in through Houston in November and Fort Lauderdale last weekend. Houston was similar to transferring on a domestic flight and they didn't pay much more attention in Fort Laurderdale. I told them I had cigars and this most recent trip I had a duty free bag with a couple bottles of Rum.

I traveled back from Havana through Atalanta.. Smoothest immigration ever.. Booked my flight to Havana a month ago. Smoothest international flight ever. Nothing has changed, only fear. Just enough to keep M'urican's away... I'm NOT a conspiracy theorist but find it very interesting the timing between Trumps OFAC rule change "show" and the "sonic attacks." Very interesting indeed..
