- The U.S. softwood lumber industry is a critical manufacturing industry essential to national economic strength and the industrial resilience of the United States
- Canada's unfair trade in softwood lumber continues to be extremely harmful to U.S. producers and workers
- Section 232 tariffs on softwood lumber product imports from around the world will facilitate a reliable supply of softwood lumber products made in the USA
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- "President Trump's America First focus on strong and effective trade law enforcement is setting the stage for the U.S. lumber industry to continue its capacity growth, and with it securing an increasing stable and dependable supply of U.S.-made lumber to build America's homes," stated Andrew Miller, Chair and Owner of Stimson Lumber Company.
