Foreign tourists visiting popular US national parks like the Grand Canyon and Yosemite will need to pay an extra fee, the Trump administration says.

The Department of the Interior, which runs the country's national parks, said each international visitor will need to pay $100 (£76) per person on top of existing fees to access 11 of the most popular sites.

From 2026, non-residents will also need to pay more than $250 for an annual pass to the parks, while US citizens and permanent residents will continue to pay $80.

Don't come here for awhile. They're not safe because he fired all of the workers and we might do shitty things to you to boot. I'm sorry for our shitty hospitality, our government sucks right now.

Surely this genius move will improve the rapidly declining of tourism in the USA

Oh, don't worry, it's only a 400 billion dollar industry.
