WASHINGTON—It was the only specific Canadian trade policy U.S. President Donald Trump talked about. And he talked about it over and over.

“You know, they have tariffs of almost 300 per cent on some of our dairy products, and we can’t have that. We’re not going to stand for that,” Trump said at the White House in August.

“They put tariffs on our dairy products going into Canada, almost 300 per cent. We can’t have that. Can’t have that,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Indiana in August.

“They cannot continue to charge us 300 per cent tariff on dairy products, and that’s what they’re doing,” Trump said at the White House in September.

Guess what: Trump made a trade agreement that lets Canada continue to charge 300 per cent tariffs on almost all dairy products.

Possibly fake news. Never heard of this outfit.

 The Wisconson Dairy farmers org read the legislation and they said it is going to  bring billions to the American Dairy Farmers.
