Canada is following the trade deal that Trump signed into law in 2018, as it pertains to what Trump is confusedly crying about.
Part of that deal is that if the US exports too much dairy products to Canada, beyond an agreed upon volume, a higher tariff rate kicks in for that excess.
This isn’t even happening, because the US has not exceeded that export limit.
…
So… if by ‘cheating’, Trump means that the deal is being broken… no, it isn’t.
If by ‘cheating’, Trump means that the terms of the deal are fundamentally unfair … it was Trump’s fucking deal after he blew up NAFTA! … so Trump is then saying his own trade deal is fundamentally unfair to America, despite massively hyping it up as awesome during his first term.
He consistently attempts to renegotiate deals when he’s in a worse position than when the original deal occurred. He’s the sort of idiot that thinks position is posturing, lying, and cheating and not the reality of trust, what you can and will do for them, and what you can and will do to them.
The even shorter version:

Yep.
He’s a corrupt, criminal bully.
His idea of negotiation is bullying.
