Farmers strongly support US President Donald Trump due to the significant financial aid his administration has provided to the industry during the pandemic, with 85% planning to vote for him. Despite potential changes in rhetoric, experts believe both Trump and a potential Democratic administration are likely to maintain protectionist policies, particularly towards China, which could benefit the American dairy industry. However, trade disputes with Mexico, Canada, and the EU are also expected to persist, regardless of the election outcome. The US dairy market has faced challenges in 2020, with the pandemic and market consolidation leading to price drops and the collapse of large companies. Despite these challenges, the US Dairy Export Council has been successful in increasing the supply of dairy products, and there is optimism for the recovery of the economy, although it is not expected to be greatly influenced by changes in leadership.
