Or, considering that the US has a 400 Million dairy trade surplus with Canada and that Wisconsin alone produces as much milk as what Canada produces, we can tell Trump to pound sand
Get with the times? This system has been in play since the 70s and NEVER caused any issues until Trump decided to stump for it...
Nato spending is something i thing is a fair point and could be discussed, but the Dairy "tiff" is a manufactured wedge issue that Herr Leader has manufactured so he can look tough on foreign trade....its a supply issue, and if the US is producing more milk than it can find buyers for that's their issue.
