Idaho’s Dairy in the Crosshairs | Boise News

The U.S. and Canada are locked in a tense trade battle, with tariffs on steel, wood, dairy, and more sending shockwaves through everyday prices and rural economies like Idaho’s.

For Idaho, which shipped over a billion dollars in exports to Canada last year, this isn’t just politics — it’s livelihoods at stake.
