The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) and the United States Dairy Export Council (USDEC) have issued a joint statement strongly supporting the President Donald Trump’s decision to impose 50 per cent tariffs on Canadian dairy imports.
Trump has signed the executive order, but paused implementation until late August.
The tariff aims to gain easier access to the Canadian market.
Trump and the dairy industry have persistently complained about the way Canada administers import quotas.
The Canadian organizations that speak for dairy farmers want Canada to hold firm.
