@CStamp @mattblaze ESTA has been in place for visa-free travelers to the US since 2008, I believe. They recently raised the fee from $14 to $21 back in 2022. The UK ETA doesn't appear specifically retaliatory in nature, since it applies to all UK visa-free partners of which the US is only one.

In response to this post@badtux For some countries. @mattblaze
@CStamp @mattblaze The ETA appears to be required for all visa-free travel to the UK other than UK citizens and Irish citizens travelling to the UK from Ireland. It is not targeted at specific countries such as the USA, it is required for all visa-free travel to the UK.
