WASHINGTON (WCAX) - A new report shows that the decline of Canadian tourists in the U.S. is hurting businesses in our region.

The Democratic wing of Congress’s Joint Economic Committee report says the declines are a direct result of President Trump’s rhetoric on annexing Canada, tariffs paid by Americans on Canadian goods, and repeatedly broken off trade talks.

The report found that the number of cars crossing the U.S.-Canada border in our region declined by upwards of 30% compared to the same time period last year.
