Trump’s Actions Choke DC Restaurants, Report Shows
Contrary to Donald Trump’s claims, Washington D.C. restaurants are actually suffering due to the increased presence of federal forces. Restaurant owners report significantly decreased foot traffic and reservations, leading to extensions of events like Restaurant Week. Many restaurant owners and workers feel that Trump’s actions are actively harming the city’s economy, creating an atmosphere of fear particularly impacting immigrant communities and the tourism industry. This climate has resulted in event cancellations, business closures, and a concerning domino effect on restaurants across the country.
