Members of Canada’s dairy industry say they’re less worried about the threat of steep United States tariffs than about a looming battle over supply management.
U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose what he calls “reciprocal” tariffs on Canadian dairy, saying they’re a response to Canada’s 250 per cent duty on U.S. dairy imports.
Quebec farmer Markus Schnegg says nearly all the dairy produced in Canada is sold for domestic consumption, meaning the U.S. tariffs would only affect a small fraction of the market.
