Trump's deadline on signing a new NAFTA agreement has come and gone.

Seems there's a bilateral agreement with Mexico in the works, but Canadian Prime Minister maintains that Canada won't be signing a deal that's bad for Canada.

Trade talks continue.

One of the sticking points is milk.

Canada manages the supply and quality of milk so as not to flood the market and destabilize prices.

U.S. subsidizes milk farmers, resulting in over production. Canadian is not in favor of flooding their markets with subsidized American milk.

The supply/demand management of the dairy industry is a big topic and an easy one for Trump to use as an example of poor Daity farmers in the USA not being able to have free access to international markets but Actually if you read the Canadian papers it isn't milk that is the hold out now.

The whole Chapter 11 (and I'm still learning about this so can't really discuss it -- lol) is a bigger deal.

Several deadlines have come and gone.

Trump wants to rename NAFTA.

USMC or USM if C won't get with his program.

Canada as the second largest trading partner with the closest to par trading figures of all doing business with the U.S should tell Trump to go pound sand!

An incredibly stupid man put in charge of a country that doesn't seem to care about the results.
