250% for milk? 291% for butter? 208% for whey? 241% for CHEESE?
Oh wait - those are actually tariffs that Canada imposed on the U.S. last year.

May get some traction, since it’s on X; I doubt the MSM will report it.
Let them lie back and think of England.
I was aware of this. What I can’t understand is why every person speaking for the administration doesn’t point this out every single time the issue of tariffs comes up.
BTW, Canadians are also being taxed/tariffed interprovincial. It’s being blessed by its Federal Government.
Wife worked at a gas and sip near the border in Blaine, WA. She says people with Canuck plates buy 10 gallons at a time.
Thank you for posting this

Is he the guy that’s going to become the next Prime Minister.
Nothing more than a distraction. Dairy tariffs are an micro element of the overall picture.
Trump negotiated the current levels with Canada and Mexico when he killed NAFTA in favor of his own USMCA, which call for tariffs only after Canada reaches a defined level of exports. It never has reached that level, and no dairy tariffs have been paid by Americans.

Going by his name, his father is from Ghana.
They do.
“people with Canuck plates buy 10 gallons at a time.”
What is the reason for that?
“Going by his name, his father is from Ghana.”
Thanks - sounded like a Canadian name.
Not as much as we do, nor direct as well.
“The tariffs were charged by Canada on US diary products last year to make it near impossible for America to sell much of diary products in Canada.
Overall Canada enjoys a huge trade surplus with the USA.”

Simply incorrect. Trump negotiated the current trade agreement we have with Canada, and he wouldn’t disadvantage the USA as you claim.
“Contextualized within the bigger picture, dairy makes up a tiny fraction of American exports to Canada. The Office of the United States Trade Representative values U.S. exports to Canada at $762 billion last year. Of that, dairy comprised 0.1%, or $1 billion. Comparatively, the USDA estimates the U.S. exported more than $28 billion in ag products to Canada last year, with much of it shipping from the Corn Belt states, Texas, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey.”

Every tariff dollar is countable.
