Well Canada had big tariff on dairy from the US. It was in range of 270%. To get around this, US dairy farmers shipped in ultra-filtered dairy products which were not subject to the tariff. Canada closed that loophole late last year or early this year. Dairy exports from US plummeted.

The EU charges a 10% tariff for US auto imports. The US tariff is around 2.5%. Big discrepancy.

The EU also hits US dairy with 30% tariff on imports. I don’t think US has an import tariff on EU dairy imports.

There are some big discrepancies. Trump is 100% correct.

It's not that what you're saying is unbelievable but can you provide links?

Also, what's with the fixation on dairy? Is it a big chunk if internatinal trade? Seems it wouldn't be very suitable to ship and store it all over the world.

How much demand for dairy imports is there anyways? Besides, that 30% tarrif is passed along to the consumer who is buying the dairy products. Good for US consumers; bad for EU's.

Besides it wouldn't surprise me if the EU put imports on things like this due to Global Warming since Cows put a lot of methane in the atmosphere.
