WASHINGTON, D.C. – The US softwood lumber market continues to be deeply suppressed by Canada oversupplying the US market through massive Canadian subsidies and the Canadian industry’s egregious dumping practices. The Canadian government continues to prop up its industry’s excess capacity and production by announcing more than one billion dollars in new subsidies. …“This is exactly why President Trump ordered the Section 232 investigation,” stated Andrew Miller, Chair and Owner of Stimson Lumber Company. A carefully targeted Section 232 tariff designed to dismantle Canada’s unneeded and disruptive softwood lumber capacity would foster more growth of the US lumber industry and production to create a long-term stable domestic supply of lumber to build U.S. homes. …“Strong antidumping and countervailing duty trade law enforcement, coupled with an effective Section 232 tariff measure will get the job done, and support U.S. industry growth to build U.S. homes with lumber milled by U.S. workers,” said Zoltan van Heyningen.
