President Trump threatened Canada with a 35 percent tariff on dairy starting Aug. 1, claiming Canada imposes tariffs as high as 400 percent on American dairy. American dairy producers express concern over the implications for their industry due to such threats. Canada's supply management system limits U.S. dairy market access to about 3.5 percent, imposing high tariffs on any surplus beyond quotas. Actual tariffs include 298.5 percent for butter and 245.5 percent for cheddar, contradicting Trump’s higher figures.
Canada's dairy supply management system controls imports and production, allowing only about 3.5 per cent of the market for American dairy exports, with high tariffs on excess.
Trump's claims of up to 400 per cent tariffs on Canadian dairy products are largely inaccurate, with actual tariffs like 298.5 per cent for butter and 245.5 per cent for cheddar.
