Canada’s forestry sector faces uncertainty with 25 per cent U.S. tariffs

U.S. President Donald Trump has delayed a 25-percent tariff on Canadian lumber products for 30 days while both countries discuss border safety and organized crime targeting.
British Columbia Premier David Eby stated that the tariffs would devastate the forestry sector, which already faces a 14.4 percent softwood lumber duty.
Industry groups criticized the tariff as harmful, stating it would disrupt trade and raise consumer costs, affecting jobs and communities on both sides of the border.
National Association of Home Builders Chairman Carl Harris argued that the tariffs would increase construction costs and harm housing supply, urging reconsideration of the trade barrier.
