I don't think you want to get into that conversation. ;-) Unfortunately, 
there are more straightforward ways to create trouble people in other 
parts of the world. In *that* particular respect, ironically, they guy 
you're referring to has been same or even much better than many of his 
predecessors.

That's one point of view.

The decision can also be delayed, so then we can have discussions about 
refunds, etc. :-)

That's debatable, particularly when the health of people is at stake, 
and many governments have been know for not being very transparent about 
these issues.

If US is the only country that prohibits people going to Spain, we must keep the meeting. US people decided what president they want, and this is a consequence of that.

I do agree with that, in principle.

But there's also the question of "being able to have a successful meeting".
