Trump reverses course on global tariffs with 90-day pause (for all but China)—but won’t change current tariffs hitting Canada. Meanwhile: in response to the US plan to double lumber duties on Canada in August: 

• ERA’s Kevin Mason says lumber prices will move lower until higher duties kick in
• RISI’s Dustin Jaibert says US pivot-to-pine will come with substitution challenges
• BC’s Minister Ravi Parmar says Trump is ‘dead wrong’ about lumber trade 
• US Lumber Dealers say duties would be duplicative and counterproductive

In Forestry/Wildfire news: what Trump’s logging plan means for Colorado; Oklahoma’s governor stands by his Forest Service firings; the US Forest Service backtracks on Minnesota logging; behind the scenes at a Missouri tree nursery; a new documentary on BC Indigenous forestry practices; and how South Korea’s deadliest wildfire spread.

Finally, on Day 3 of Wildfire Resilience and Awareness Week—a documentary on BC’s worst fire season; and wildfire studies as a distinct academic discipline.
