Old Orchard Beach and Trump’s tariffs

This week on In Focus Maine, we look at how tariff tensions between the U.S. and Canada have impacted tourism — specifically in Old Orchard Beach. State Rep. Lori Gramlich says 40% of business in Old Orchard Beach comes from Canadian tourism and area businesses are nervous.  

We also speak with the owner of the Point of View Inn, now celebrating 50 years.  The business is heavily reliant on Canadian tourism. 

And finally, the president and CEO of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce weights in on U.S.-Canadian relations, and what the state is doing to make sure Canadians know they are welcome.
