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.

    America literally has nothing Canada or any other nation needs that they can’t get from another country. America is literally a resource leech that offers nothing in return.

    The world is better off without America. Congrats on your oranges or something.

    There’s a particular reason America has always had a global trade deficit.

      You do see how shipping produce across an ocean is an environmental tragedy, right? Again, I agree that Canada is doing the right thing given the circumstances but describing the situation like it’s a good thing is unhinged.

        It doesn’t have to be.

        Shipping auto sub assemblies across the borders of Canada and US 20X is not exactly green, and Detroit refuses to make EVs in Canada.
