The State Department has introduced a new risk indicator, the "D" indicator, to its travel advisories to inform U.S. travelers of the risk of wrongful detention by a foreign government.
"D" indicator is the most serious Travel Advisory level of 4, which means "Do Not Travel."
Announcing this in a video address, Secretary of State Antony Blinken called on Americans to check the travel advisories before heading to other nations.
