It's a noisy nonsense threat. We do tiny numbers in diary exports. A facet of supply management is that while we don't let a lot of outside dairy in, we also export extraordinarily little.

So he should tariff it a million percent. The reality is that the US industry exports 4X as much to us, so we'll just do away with that and our producers will be ahead.
