WASHINGTON — As President Trump seeks to …enforce U.S. trade laws against harmful foreign unfair trade practices, BC Premier Eby suggests using U.S. border tax collections to bail out Canadian lumber producers. Premier Eby’s suggestions fly in the face of repeated findings by the U.S. Department of Commerce that Canadian exporters continue to engage in egregious unfair trade practices that harm U.S. softwood lumber producers and workers. …”…Canada once again suggests using import duties paid by Canadian companies as a consequence of their own behavior to bail out the very same Canadian lumber producers who harm U.S. companies…,” stated Andrew Miller of Stimson Lumber and Chairman of the U.S. Lumber Coalition. …”Premier Eby’s response is that the United States should stop enforcing U.S. trade laws and instead give billions of dollars to Canadian industry.
