Nashville, Tennessee — In Music City, there are early signs that President Trump’s trade war with Canada is striking the wrong chord.
Around half of Nashville’s international visitors come from Canada, according to the nonprofit Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp.
But Canadians are not crossing the border in the numbers they once did, angry about the president’s tariffs on Canadian goods not covered by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement and his disparaging remarks towards America’s northern neighbor.
Bill DeMain, a musician who runs the walking tour company Walkin’ Nashville, says Canadians normally make up about a third of his clientele.
