'Simply false': CNN fact checker makes quick work of latest Trump claim

[j-mac]

Not a surprise here....Trump just forgot to mention that none of those '200%' dairy tariffs that Canada levees against US products actually ever comes into play.
Kind of odd..given that TRUMP is the one who negotiated the deal with Canada in the first place?

Donald Trump neglected to mention a critical fact in his complaint that Canada imposed tariffs above 200 percent on dairy products imported from the U.S., according to a fact checker.

Those steep tariffs snapped into place only after the U.S. hit a certain quantity – negotiated by Trump himself – of tariff-free dairy sales to Canada each year, and the American dairy industry acknowledges it's not hitting it's zero-tariff maximum in any individual category of dairy products – and many categories, including milk, it's not even meeting half of that ceiling, reported CNN's Daniel Dale.

"Trump also made a claim that is simply false," Dale wrote. "He told reporters Friday that the situation with Canadian dairy tariffs was 'well taken care of' at the time his first presidency ended, 'but under Biden, they just kept raising it.'"

Canada did not, in fact, raise its dairy tariffs during Joe Biden's presidency, as both government documents show and dairy industry groups confirmed, but the tariffs that Trump denounced were actually left in place by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, that Trump negotiated and signed in 2018 – and which he has boasted was “the best trade deal ever made.”

So, you’re against fair trade…

 

[j-mac]

Trump is the reason for it.

Victim blaming…

 

[Mac-7]

Trump is the reason for it.

Nonsense

The 265% tariff predates trump taking office

Nonsense

The 265% tariff predates trump taking office

It was Trump's trade deal. Any deal before Trump's no longer existed.

You will have to document your claim

The canadians set their tariff rates not trump

United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement

 

[Mac-7]

United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement

Yes, it does appear that the US previously agreed to unfair tariffs on imported milk products

And I understand what canda is trying to do which is protect local farmers

Something trump is also trying to do for American workers struggling to compete with cheap chinese and mexican imports

 

[drudge X]

Canada won't last in this trade war with the US.

 

[WEATHER53]

Not fact checker but fact fixers. They “cure” facts like votes until it’s massaged their way

I can't imagine being so dumb as to utter the words "CNN" and "fact checker" in the same sentence and expect to be taken seriously.

They never come into play because no one is dumb enough to import dairy products above the quota.

Nonsense

The 265% tariff predates trump taking office

didn’t Trump say that Canada raised it under Biden?

 

[EvilEyeFleegle]

The 265% tariff exists

Trump was right and CNN is spreading a lie

It exists IF US exports to Canada exceed a certain number..one that has never been attained.
You are a liar.

 

[Mac-7]

The tariff exists, period.

Trump said a person would have to have been a moron to have signed that agreement.

trump signed the deal that criticized. trump is crashing Biden's economy. He was given a great economy that. In less than six months. He has screwed.

 

[Seymour Flops]

What’s always missing from these “Trump LIED!” stories is a quote of what Trump said and a video of him saying it.

 

[Dr.Destructo]

AH, more bullshit, lies, and raping of the TRUTH about whats going on........from the ever popular LYING MEDIA!!!!!

Trump is doing EXACTLY what he said he's going to do since 2016.

This country is SO used to politicians spewing lies about everything that comes out of their mouths..........they are all gobsmacked about Trump ACTUALLY doing what he's promised all along.

Don't worry. He's a BUSINESSMAN, he literally knows exactly what he's doing. These are business tactics he's using to make this country better.

But in order to make things better, we are going to have to go thru a rough patch for a bit.

But.......once his plans have taken action and started doing what it is they are supposed to do.........WE THE PEOPLE will be SO much better off.

Whats the saying........You can't make an omlette without breaking some eggs. Well. we are in the breaking eggs part of his plans.

You are going to LOVE it when we get to the omlette part!!!!!

United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement

So in your link there isls the link to the agreement.

In that agreement there are links. List of US tariffs on Canada and Mexico run to 301 pages. I scrolled down and all the rates were zero.

List of Canadian tariffs on the US runs to 16 pages and it lists various % tariffs.

And Trump agreed to that?

Any current tariffs with Canada are Trump negotiated tariffs.

That's odd......200?

I've heard of 160%......not 200.
