U.S. city sends letter of support to B.C. communities

Bellingham city council in Washington State sent a letter on May 19, 2025, to Langley and other B.C. Border communities affirming a positive relationship.
This message came amid a roughly one-third decline in cross-border travel, attributed to U.S. Tariffs and remarks by President Trump suggesting closer integration between Canada and the United States.
The letter, which was proposed by Councillor Michael Lilliquist, aimed to strengthen social, cultural, and economic connections and deliberately avoided mentioning President Trump's remarks.
The letter conveyed a dedication to maintaining strong relationships with Canadian communities, emphasizing long-standing social, cultural, and economic bonds, and expressed hope that mutual trust will continue to shape their shared future.
The letter reflects Bellingham's intent to sustain a peaceful partnership with Canadian neighbours, recognizing nearly two centuries of shared history and extending a hand in friendship.
