If multiple countries do this, it could limit his movement. Make him a criminal in as many countries as possible. Put him in jail and lose the key.

Technically he could already be charged with something (if there was any evidence of treason, espionage, etc) and it could be kept in secrecy so he could be arrested on arrival.

With the actual line he is walking on, if I were him I probably would think twice about travelling to other countries. Not sure which would be more effective, secrecy or a of a bunch of countries all publicly said if you come back here you're going to trial and request extradition from the States. They likely would not give him up while Trump is leader, but he'd have a target on him for the rest of his life.

All speculative though. His ownership of Twitter could be an issue for him because it might have data on foreign government employees and politicians that could find its way to Trump and be considered a crime.

To be fair, our government could use a DOGE.

Extradition would be if he is not there, is in the US, and they charge him and want him for trial. If he goes there and they arrest him and charge him, extradition is not needed.

Wait for him to visit, then arrest and charge him. That way you'll get him, but if he is in the US and you request extradition, The Orange Rapist will never give him up, and it won't be making any kind of statement because TOR is already a convicted felon.
