						Back in the 2016 US Presidential elections, Trump campaigned on a platform against the Trans Pacific Partnership. One of the reasons Trump said the TPP was bad was that it did not go far enough in reducing barriers for American dairy farmers' access to foreign markets, including access to Canada's dairy market. So, he formally pulled out of the TPP. Do you remember Trump pulling out of the TPP in January 2017?					Yes

						In addition to pulling out of the TPP, President Trump "tore up" the free-trade agreement between the USA, Canada and Mexico, NAFTA. This resulted in the negotiation of a new trade agreement for these three countries, the USMCA, which was announced on October 1, 2018. When President Trump signed the USMCA, he called it "a terrific deal" and specifically mentioned how good it was for American dairy farmers. Do you remember President Trump's praise for the USMCA and how it would protect American dairy farmers?					Yes

						Canada bought $1.14 billion of American dairy products in 2024. and was the USA's top export market for eggs. The US Department of Agriculture said in February 2025, that since Canada's tariffs don't kick in unless certain quotas are exceeded, "almost all agricultural products traded between the United States and Canada are free of tariffs or quotas." Given this information, do you think American dairy farmers are truly being treated "unfairly" by the USMCA?					Yes

						Why do you think President Trump is now calling for additional negotiations on dairy products when he had three previous agreements to try to change things?

							The milk, dairy deal, between Canada and the Us, is just another thing the child, idiot, dummy, dictator Trump doesn't understand. I don't know how many the total would be on his understanding or I should say misunderstanding because I can't count that high.

							Apparently, these negotiations and resulting agreements were not reported in the US media, or perhaps I had gotten proficient at tuning out Mr. Trump's many speeches.  I have no idea why he is still concerning himself with this thrice-resolved situation, especially in light of the many crises within and without the US.
