Canada's 'powerful' dairy sector is in Trump's trade crosshairs

US President Trump has targeted Canada's dairy sector as a major trade irritant, citing its supply management system as one of the key reasons for imposing new tariffs. Canada's dairy industry is considered a powerful sector, with a complex system of quotas and tariffs that regulate the production and importation of dairy products. The system has been a point of contention between the two countries, with the US seeking greater access to the Canadian market. Trump's actions have put Canada's dairy sector in the spotlight, potentially leading to significant trade implications.
