Canada travel to Louisiana drops amid Trump row
Louisiana Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser says Canadian tourism to the state is down 20–30% this year, with at least one operator canceling four tour buses for the Grand Réveil Acadien festival near Lafayette, after President Trump’s remarks about Canada and ongoing tariff tensions. Nungesser says Canadian data show a 25% year-over-year drop in July U.S. visits and is asking the president to apologize, warning the U.S. has become an unpopular destination for Canadians.
