by

More bad news for Canada. Looks like we’ll have even cheaper US lumber again!

US President Donald Trump is ordering the Commerce Department to launch an investigation into the national security harm posed by lumber imports, laying the legal groundwork for new tariffs he’s pledged.

Trump is simultaneously signing an executive order, titled “Freeing our Forests,” that will focus on streamlining the regulatory permitting process, allowing more harvesting of timber salvage.
