Every country has these types of tariffs to prevent other countries from flooding the market. These mfers are so dumb 🤦
embarrassingly dumb and they are proud to show their faces and there are no consequences for them. in a few weeks someone will reference them as a source of facts again.

Trumps first admin renegotiated the free trade deal and agreed to give dairy an exemption again. If it was such a major dealbreaker, why’d he sign and promote the new NAFTA deal so many times in his first term?

Almost all other major trade is tariff free between Canada and the US under the agreement ( until now). Blowing up 300 billion dollar trade, which supplements your position, over dairy farmers in Wisconsin seems like an absurd proposition.

He's not making any sense. He's being misleading. These tariffs apply *only* to dairy imports that exceed established quotas. This was an agreed upon system set-up in trade agreements, that's existed for years. Imports within the quotas face little to no tariffs at all. So trying to deflect from Trump's broad tariffs makes you both look silly. I can't stand that lying ass idiot behind that account. All they do is run interference for Trump under the guise of being "nuanced."

Damn so he’s 100% wrong all this time? How’s this going to play out?

It’s because Trump knows that the Canadian dairy lobby will never get rid of supply management. It’s a wedge.

I actually think it’s on life support this time around. But I don’t think dairy is motivating the moves, I think he is serious about annexing Canada for geopolitical purposes as unrealistic as it is.

The Dairy Lobby controls Canada. Check out why Maxime Bernier lost the Conservative leadership race to Andrew Scheer.

Those in warmer states should have long gone Green/Solar.. :manny:

Too late now as the Solar companies are going to hike prices like real estate firms did during the Cali fires..so you're caught and trapped.
Even worse most Solar product imports into the US are produced in China and Germany :snoop:
