THE TRUTH ON TARIFFS:
Trump's claim that Canada holds an unfair advantage due to 250% tariffs on U.S. dairy products is misleading.
In reality, the U.S. exports approximately $1.03 billion worth of dairy products annually to Canada, virtually ALL TARIFF-FREE.
That's right—these U.S. dairy exports enter Canada with a 0% tariff.
On the other hand, the U.S. imports only about $293 million in dairy products from Canada each year, significantly less than what it exports to Canada.
The "250% tariffs" that Trump references apply exclusively to dairy imports above Canada's established quota limits. Such quota limits are rarely surpassed, as the U.S. already exports far more dairy products to Canada than Canada exports to the U.S.—more than three times as much, in fact.
This is what MAGA does. They create huge controversies out of nothing, as a way to try and sell a narrtive.
