Both Canada and Brazil have large subsidies. Elements of a trade war are present. They also hurt chances for a fair trade agreement for the Americas. Canada has $1.7 billion in subsidies. Talks may help minimize some of the problems.
Little of this gets into the press, but trade both ways is several billions.
