Formula Shortage

Turns out, the Trump administration’s provisions in their trade deal with Mexico-Canada slapped huge tariffs on formula and made it unprofitable to import formula to rectify the supply chain.

18% tariff on imports which still exists right now.

provisions were added to the United States‐Mexico‐Canada Agreement (USMCA) to restrict imports of formula from Canada, supposedly because China was investing in a baby food plant in Ontario, and this new production might eventually enter the U.S. market. Thus, the provisions in the USMCA’s agriculture annexestablish confusing and costly TRQs on Canadian exports of infant formula, and the United States imported no baby formula from Canada in 2021.

If you’re wondering why the right is convincing monkeys like @NewdayBuckeye to attack illegal immigrants and prove for the 1000th time that he’s just a sniveling, insecure bigot.

It’s always to cover something stupid they’ve done but can’t accept responsibility for.
