U.S. President Donald Trump’s nominee to run the Commerce Department, Howard Lutnick, said he will work to increase access to Canada’s dairy market.
He was testifying before the Senate Commerce Committee.
Lutnick said Canada has treated U.S. farmers “horribly” and would work to make sure that they do “much, much better in Canada than they’ve ever done before.”
He also said Canada and Mexico can avoid tariffs if they take effective action to stop illegal immigration and fentanyl.
He also said Trump’s proposed tariffs will not result in inflation.
