Foreign travel spending in US to decline 7% in 2025, report says

NEW YORK (Reuters) -International travel spending in the United States is expected to decline about 7%, or $12.5 billion, in 2025 as politics and a strong dollar prompt foreign visitors to opt for other destinations, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council. International travelers are shunning U.S. vacations due to unpopular policies from the administration of President Donald Trump, fear of being stopped at the border and an unfavorable exchange rate, said Julia Simpson, CEO of the WTTC, an organization representing the industry's private sector. "Of 184 countries, the U.S. is the only one that's seeing an absolute decline in international visitor spending," Simpson said.

Live updates: Trump travels to Saudi Arabia to kick off first major foreign trip

President Donald Trump arrived in Saudi Arabia today to begin his first major international trip of his second term. Follow along for live updates.

The Trump administration imposed tariffs on Saudi Arabia in response to the country's alleged involvement in the oil price war, which significantly impacted the U.S. energy sector. These tariffs, effective from May 13, 2025, target a range of Saudi goods, including steel, aluminum, and various manufactured products. The move aims to pressure Saudi Arabia into reducing oil production and stabilizing global oil prices. The decision has sparked a range of reactions, with some U.S. lawmakers and industry leaders supporting the tariffs as a necessary measure to protect American interests, while others express concerns about potential retaliatory actions from Saudi Arabia and the broader implications for U.S.-Saudi relations. Live updates on the situation continue to provide insights into the ongoing developments and reactions from both domestic and international stakeholders.
