The United States is experiencing a decline in international tourism due to President Donald Trump’s trade policies and hostile rhetoric towards other countries. Tourism from Canada and Western Europe has seen a significant drop, with visitor numbers decreasing by as much as 29%. Trump’s tariffs on European imports and the suggestion that Canada could become a part of the U.S. have further strained relations with these traditional allies. Analysts estimate that the U.S. could lose up to $90 billion in revenue this year due to reduced visits and canceled purchases of U.S. goods. Despite some relief measures, sentiment against the U.S. remains negative, and the impact on the economy is expected to continue. Even if Trump softens his stance, it will take time for international travelers to regain trust in the U.S. tourism market. While some U.S. tourism hotspots like Miami and Niagara Falls have not yet seen a significant slowdown, others are reporting fewer bookings. The decline in international tourism could have long-term economic repercussions for local communities that rely on tourism revenue for essential services like police and fire departments. The full impact of the decrease in international tourism on the U.S. economy is yet to be fully realized, but the negative effects are already being felt.
