Point Roberts faces economic strain as U.S. tariffs and fewer Canadian visitors hit local businesses.
Point Roberts, a small U.S. community heavily reliant on Canadian businesses and tourists, is facing economic challenges due to trade tensions and increased costs of imported materials.
The U.S. has imposed a 20% anti-dumping duty on Canadian softwood lumber, raising construction costs and reducing demand.
Additionally, fewer visitors from British Columbia have led to a significant decline in local business revenue, with some businesses experiencing a 50% drop.
The town's close ties with British Columbia, including its utilities, are under pressure due to these economic strains.
