Re: POTUS 45.41: We Need More Tax Cuts to pay for the Tax Cut

The major victory for the Trump administration is that the Canadian market will be opened up for more American dairy products. But, as The New York Times notes, this opening “is similar to what the United States would have gained through the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade treaty that President Trump withdrew from last year.” Under the new agreement, the United States would now have access to 3.6% of Canada’s dairy market (TPP would’ve opened up 3.25% of the dairy market). In other words, the most significant concession Canada made was only slightly larger than what it had already been prepared to make. Aside from dairy products, the United States gained a concession on copyright, which will now be extended in Canada to 70 years after the original copyright holders death (currently it is 50 years).

That extra .35% of dairy exports will create eleventy billion dollars.
Disney wins again on the copyright thing.
The current copyright laws mean Mickey Mouse is set to enter the public domain in 2024, but some others will start to fall into the public domain next year. Be interesting to see if Congress extends it again.
U.S. trade lawyer Dan Ujczo says that "more than two-thirds of the chapters" in this new agreement "can be traced" to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which Trump has bashed and pulled the U.S. out of.
