    The 250% on dairy is because the USA refused to stop subsidizing its dairy farmers to overproduce. Remove the subsidies or it isn’t fair trade.

      Hey, that’s a similar reason they have a tariff on our soft wood.

      Well, Donald, that is what happens when you tariff a trading partner, they put a tariff on you, Donald. Just like Russia can end the war at any moment they wish by simply leaving Ukraine, you, Donald, can end this trade war the same way by just stopping it.

        Soft wood is because it’s a Federal Agreement not a State Agreement

        States are free to put their own tariffs on imports, that’s why NAFTA was so beneficial to the US
