Millions of international travelers are increasingly choosing to avoid the United States.

The United States had roughly 4 million fewer international visitors in 2025 than the year before, marking a 5.5 percent decline in overseas tourism, according to CNN. Foreign visitor spending also fell by more than $8 billion.

Aside from the collapse in travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, it represents the sharpest annual drop in international tourism in roughly 20 years.

We are making new partners worldwide and no longer trusting anyone. Canada has been fucked over by the US since Eisenhower shut down our aeronautics industry with his Conservative puppet.

Fuck around...find out. Throw out legal trade agreements? we can now pivot to other, better markets.

Tariffs on cars? Good. We opened up to other countries that don't just sell shitty trucks. EVs inbound from China and France. Maybe we can stop subsidizing US assembly plants in Canada with our healthcare.
