Trump's rhetoric significantly harms Maine inn owner's business
An inn owner in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, is facing serious challenges due to President Donald Trump’s comments about Canada. Sterling Morse, who runs the Point of View Inn, claims that his business has lost around 90% of its customers because Canadian tourists are canceling their reservations. Morse shared his concerns during an interview with CNN. He believes that many Canadians are upset over Trump’s remarks and his changing tariffs on their country. He stated that their anger is very understandable. This situation is particularly concerning for Morse, as many of his loyal French Canadian customers are missing from his bookings this season. He noted that these visitors often come back year after year at the same time. Morse fears that if things do not improve, he may need to close the inn or sell it.
