Trump's 250% Dairy Tariff:
Putting American Farmers First
Canada’s steep tariffs on U.S. dairy exports—ranging from 200% to 300%, with milk hitting 270% and butter nearing 298%—have long frustrated American farmers. Under Canada’s supply management system, these over-quota rates protect its domestic dairy industry. In response, President Trump this week threatened reciprocal tariffs on Canadian dairy, promising to match or exceed Canada’s rates—potentially slapping 250% or more on imports. After briefly imposing a 25% tariff on all Canadian goods (partially rolled back for USMCA items), Trump signaled today that dairy-specific tariffs could hit as early as Friday, March 7, or next week.
This 2018 tweet from Donald J. Trump, decrying Canada’s 270% dairy tariffs as unfair ‘Fool Trade,’ remains strikingly relevant in 2025 as Trump threatens reciprocal tariffs on Canadian dairy, reigniting the same trade battle he highlighted seven years ago. Stay tuned as this trade battle unfolds!
