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

How does someone so stupid even find it possible to type on a keyboard and get on the internet?

Methane and climate change have nothing to do with dairy or beef. More like usable land area, cattle range. Can't milk frozen cows in Canada and the EU has very little range area. The USA and parts of South and Central America are ideal habitat for bovine creatures. The rest of the world, not so much.

Add to the usable cattle range, the factors of safety and security of the milk/beef processing. No other nation has such an extensive and wide ranging system of food safety and testing as the USA. Brazil recently got their beef banned worldwide over corruption of the limited testing overseers (a few top people got paid off to forego testing and ship unsafe meat around the globe. Paid by the ton!).
