Montana Farmers Face Canadian Trade Collapse After Trump Vote
The Trump administration’s tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports are significantly impacting Montana’s agricultural sector, causing a substantial drop in crop prices and costing the state billions. Montana’s robust trade relationship with Canada, its largest trading partner, is particularly vulnerable, with farmers facing contract disruptions and added costs due to the 25% tariff. The Montana Farmers Union is advocating for the bipartisan Trade Review Act of 2025 to increase congressional oversight of tariff implementation. Furthermore, they support a motion for an injunction against the tariffs, seeking judicial review to mitigate the economic harm.
