Those traiffs were nothing like what Trump claims. Under the agreements
that Trump worked out the last time he was in power, Canada was allowed
to put 5% to 7% tariffs on dairy and eggs because the American gov't
subsidizes their farmers to keep the prices of those things low.

And Trump agreed to a quota of the maximum amount of that stuff that
could be sold in Canada, and the quoted super high tariffs were Agreed
to as a punishment for breaking the agreement.

But Trump's memory is suspect when it goes against what he wants
to do now. It'd why he keeps breaking the terms of the last free
trade agreement he worked out with Canada and Mexico.
