Denmark and Finland have revised their travel guidance for transgender individuals planning to visit the United States. The move follows similar guidance updates by other European nations in apparent response to President Donald Trump's large-scale crackdown on trans rights.

A new section has been added under Denmark's visa rules for entry into the United States. It states that when applying for a U.S. visa, there are only two gender options available, male or female. If your passport has the gender designation X, or if you have changed your gender, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises contacting the American embassy before traveling for guidance on how to proceed.

- In Finland, the advisory notes that if the gender on an applicant's passport differs from the gender confirmed at birth, U.S. authorities may deny entry.
- The United Kingdom has updated its travel guidance for British citizens planning to visit the country, warning of potential arrest or detention if travelers fail to comply with entry requirements.
- Germany has told its citizens that they are not guaranteed entry to the U.S. even if they have a visa or entry waiver.

It is expected that more European nations will update travel guidance as President Trump reshapes America's domestic and foreign policy.
