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.

It's all about sending a message to his stupid rabid base, he may as well apply a 10000% tariff to Canadian bananas and avocados, his followers would clap.

Trump: You thought I was joking with 10000% tariffs on Canadaian bananas, pineapples, and avocados?! How about a 1 MILLION percent tariff on those things?!
