There are no serious national events at this time.

Multiple active regional conflicts including the Russia-Ukraine war and escalating South Asia tensions create elevated near-term risks of dangerous events and potential regional destabilization, though direct threats to US civilians remain limited and domestic conditions remain stable.

Two countries maintain Do Not Travel advisories at Level 4: Ukraine and Mali, reflecting severe security concerns in both regions. Four additional countries are at Level 3 (Reconsider Travel) including Trinidad and Tobago, Mauritania, Guyana, and Bangladesh. Approximately eighteen countries are at Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution), including Brazil, Angola, Cambodia, Morocco, Serbia, Jamaica, Denmark, Ghana, Chile, and others. The majority of global destinations remain at Level 1 (Exercise Normal Precautions), including most developed nations in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Caribbean. Recent assessment updates suggest persistent security, political instability, or health concerns in select regions while global travel conditions remain generally manageable.
