U.S. introduces tariff on travel for Canadians and Mexicans

Travelling to the U.S. by air or sea is about to become five dollars and fifty cents more expensive for Canadians and Mexicans.

A free trade deal was passed last Friday stating that citizens of these areas should have to pay a tariff to enter the States.

 The purpose of the tax is to improve the American economy. The Canadian government is concerned that it could hurt ours, but U.S. Ambassador David Jacobson says that it won’t be as bad for our economy as ongoing American debt would be.
