Trump accuses Canada of imposing tariffs of 400% on U.S. dairy products.
On Thursday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney revealed that the United States raised dozens of issues in trade talks with Canada and Mexico. Each country has “several matters on the table” toward the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) of 2026.

Despite Washington’s negotiations, Canada will not accept the elimination or reduction of protections for the dairy sector, he said and defended the regulated production system, which has been in place for 50 years and is recognized by the USMCA.
The regulated production system limits tariff-free imports of U.S. dairy products to 3.5% of the total demand. President Donald Trump criticizes it and accuses Canada of imposing tariffs of 400% on U.S. dairy products.
Meanwhile, Carney acknowledged that sectoral agreements to reduce tariffs imposed by Washington on Canadian steel, aluminum, and energy are unlikely, which continues to strain bilateral relations.

The Canadian primer minister indicated that the list of trade demands presented by Washington is only part of what will be discussed in the renegotiation of the USMCA in 2026, where “everything” will be included in negotiations.
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer presented Washington’s negotiating priorities for the USMCA to Congress, which included eliminating the Canadian management system and protectionist measures in the culture and media sectors.
In October, Canada and the United States were close to an agreement on steel exports, which are subject to a 50% tariff. However, a critical Canadian advertisement on tariffs, broadcast on U.S. television, provoked Trump to suspend the negotiations.
