Vance nails Canada over 250% dairy tariffs on Maine farmers, demands a fair trade deal

Vice President JD Vance told a Brewers, Maine audience that Canada treats Chinese goods more fairly than Maine dairy products, denounced stalled US–Canada trade talks, and warned that Maine farmers could face a 250% tariff on dairy exports to Canada. He urged Ottawa to stop taking advantage of the U.S. and sign a fair deal, while signaling readiness to use tariffs if necessary and highlighting Canada’s high over-quota dairy rates as an example of unequal trade.
