Misleading Claims About Canadian Tariffs on U.S. Dairy Products
President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that Canada charges U.S. farmers a 250% or 270% tariff on dairy products, but this is misleading as these rates are only charged if U.S. exports exceed predetermined quotas. The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement raised the thresholds for these tariffs, and U.S. dairy exports to Canada have never faced triple-digit tariffs. Despite Trump's claims, the tariffs have remained virtually unchanged since his first term in office.
