“A friendly FYI for our American friends—this gets misunderstood a lot.

Donald Trump is technically right when he says Canada has tariffs over 200% on U.S. dairy.

But he leaves out a pretty important detail.

Those high tariffs only kick in after the U.S. hits a certain amount of dairy exports to Canada each year—an amount that was negotiated by his administration.

The thing is, the U.S. isn’t even close to hitting those limits.

In fact, in a lot of categories—like milk—it’s not even halfway there.

So in reality, those tariffs aren’t actually being paid. There’s still plenty of room for the U.S. to export a lot more dairy to Canada tariff-free.

The U.S. enjoys a significant dairy trade surplus with Canada, exporting $877.5 million in dairy products while importing $357.9 million in return.

The U.S. also maintains high tariffs above certain volume limits for Canadian dairy, sugar, and other agricultural products.

So no, Canada isn’t ripping you off.

That’s why Canadians get frustrated about this.

We know what’s actually going on.”
