Official warnings?
"England" would not issue any such warning - it would be under the name of the United Kingdom, and none has been issued to the best of my knowledge. It would have been widely publicised if it was.
I can't speak for the other countries.

@Sazzio Could well be, but there have been two unofficial warnings from Britons who have had unfortunate encounters with the US authorities.
One was simply bizarre: the bureaucrats identified one Englishman as a potential South-American criminal gang-member simply by a Facebook post of his rather pretentious tattoo! Allegedly it resembles one once used by gang-members as a recognition symbol. It made him and his wife wonder if they ought cancel a planned holiday in the States.
The other was a Welsh woman who had evidently not read or understood properly her visa's very rigid "no work" rules. She had helped with housework unpaid but in return for overnight stays in private homes - but that does not excuse the uncivilised way she said the US officials detained and deported her.
