Donald Trump Intensifies Criticism of Canada’s Dairy Policies

In a recent development, the former U.S. president, Donald Trump, known for his bold and often controversial stances, has once again turned his attention to Canada's dairy supply management system. This system, which regulates milk production in Canada to ensure stable prices, has long been a point of contention between the two countries.

During his first term, Trump frequently criticized the supply management system, arguing that it put American farmers at a disadvantage. Now, as he prepares to re-enter the White House, Trump is reigniting this debate, focusing on what he terms as unfair trade practices by Canada.

This renewed criticism has stirred concern among Canadian dairy farmers, who fear potential changes to the system that could impact their livelihoods. CBC’s Ellen Mauro reports on this growing tension, providing insights into the concerns of Canadian dairy farmers and their future under a potentially more aggressive U.S. trade policy.
