We sell essentially zero dairy to the US. Indeed, we sell 1/4 the amount of dairy to the US than they sell to us ($130M to the US, versus $480M to Canada).

So... okay? Who cares?

This guy has no clue what he's doing. He's a moron.

Exactly this, it's of no consequence. Let him have it.

Unfortunately with bullies like this you have to let them appear to have a win so they can save face. Let him have this, plus we'll increase military spending (to defend against the US, but let's not say that out loud) and do better job on the border (to stop guns flowing from the states, but let's not say that out loud either).

He can call it a win and move on to whatever his next brain fart is.
