From Washington State to northern New England, American businesses that have long depended on Canadian visitors are seeing traffic dry up—and with it, a crucial source of revenue.
A new report shared exclusively with Fortune by the Joint Economic Committee (JEC)–Minority, a congressional standing committee dating back to 1946 that’s responsible for documenting economic conditions in the U.S., details how a sharp drop in Canadian tourism is hitting every U.S. state along the northern border. The findings come as President Trump has proposed annexing Canada, imposed several rounds of tariffs on Canadian goods, and repeatedly broken off trade talks with Ottawa, contributing to a chill in cross-border travel and spending.
