Looks like trump just proved he is a hypocrite again. He wants to start a trade war and start raising trade tariffs to make imports more expensive. And he throws a fit when Canada decides to lower prices for a specific class of dairy products. Namely ultra-filtered milk which is tariff free most likely due to an earlier policy pertaining to raw materials having zero tariff fee or very low tariffs due to it being a raw product in making Cheese.
Trump apparently thinks Canada lowering prices for domestically produced ultra-filtered milk is the same as a tariff. No you stupid trump. It’s called being more competitive.

I guess popular vote loser trump can’t take it that Canada was the first to make a move. And a smart one at that by making the Canadian farmers more competitive in the market. Or is he mad Canadian companies are grabbing their wallets and dumping WI? I have a nasty suspicion that Wi is the state with the brunt of the loss of Canadian contracts. And now he’s pissed Canada decided not to buy as much milk from US.
hmmm, us heavily subsidizes their corn industry and caused many mexicans to lose jobs and forced to shut down their farms because they cannot compete with the gmo corn from us. GMO us corn is used as animal feed on Mexican farms. Wait so the rumpus is pissed we’re doing “the same thing” to them as they did to the Mexicans? What comes around goes around trumpy.
As for our subsidized milk industry? Alternate facts trump. It’s technically not subsidized since starting up is freakishly prohibitively expensive but the government guarantees all milk produced is bought and sold. The excess milk that isn’t sold in supermarkets and as a raw material to cheese processors is dried into skim milk powder and exported to nations like Jamaica. That’s how it’s “subsidized” Instead of dumping our excess milk on poor 3rd world countries we’re lowering prices and getting Canadian manufacturers to soak it up and use more of it instead of destroying dairy farmers in countries like Jamaica.
*I pulled that info straight from lecture notes*
He’s probably also threw another fit when the BC liberals decided to allow grocery stores to sell bc wines directly on grocery shelves instead of being forced to sell in a store within a store format which also has stringent rules in itself with perimeter restrictions with other liquor stores in the vicinity. Probably upset the restrictions prohibit Walmart from stocking trump wines.
As always trump proves himself to be an idiot.
