A Napier accommodation provider is doubling down on turning away Americans - saying it's a protest against the Trump administration 'betraying' Ukraine.

Bluff Hill Lighthouse B&B has cancelled every US booking since February.

Owner Mario Schmidt is blaming the President - and his adviser, billionaire Elon Musk.

He says he made the decision after Donald Trump's meeting with Ukraine President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, last month.

"I literally threw up - I've never thrown up. My blood was boiling."
