"I hate these tariffs": Americans in US border town react to Trump's trade war with Canada

The Washington state border town of Lynden is used to Canadian visitors. Located just eight kilometres south of the Canada-U.S. border, the city of 15,000 people has many cross-border businesses and cultural ties.

However, U.S. President Donald Trump’s on-again, off-again trade war and the uncertainty it is causing does not appear to have the full support of everyone.

“I think that Mr. Trump has really affected our relationships,” one resident told Global News. Another said he thinks that the fear the Americans are feeling at the moment is palpable.

Trump visited Lynden as part of his campaign in 2016 and it was the only stop he made in Washington state.
