"We're not going to let Canada take advantage [of the U.S.]", Trump told the group of reporters, claiming Canadian policies had hurt USA timber and lumber jobs as well. But that's going to take time.
On Tuesday, Trump targeted Canada explicitly in taking the next steps in his "Buy American, Hire American" policy, suggesting Wisconsin farmers are suffering because of the Canadian system. "I think they need to look within their own industry in terms of how they could better respond to the marketplace that they are in", said Weins.
Four U.S. dairy industry groups wrote Trump last week and accused Canada of breaking dairy trade commitments through tariff protection. The Chamber of Commerce added that it would be a "mistake to close the door on high-skilled workers" who can contribute to the growth and expansion of American businesses and make the USA more competitive around the world. Speaking in Kenosha, Wisc., the President called the supply management systems undertaken by Ontario and the Trudeau government as symbolic of the "one-sided" deals he has vowed to replace.

Sources told SN that the dispute is not likely to have a significant impact on the supply or availability of dairy products in the U.S. However, there could be other pricing and availability ramifications if the U.S. takes retaliatory action against products imported to the U.S. from Canada.
"We do allow pretty significant access to the Canadian market, but we definitely do protect the rest of it", she said.
"It's hard to take a call from a producer that's been on the farm for three and four and five generations and now you know, have a problem like this", Mullins said.
About 70 producers in Wisconsin and NY affected by the change have been struggling since, and have lobbied the USA government for action.
