“Canada is frantically pushing the idea that the UW needs their unfairly traded softwood lumber by attacking President Trump’s strong border measures,” said Andrew Miller, Chairman of the US Lumber Coalition. “Erroneous, but persistent, messaging by Canada and NAHB regarding the impact of lumber border measures on housing costs leads to inaccurate and inflammatory headlines such as “Trump tariffs on Canadian lumber could be a ‘nightmare’ for California’s fire recovery.” Headlines like these serve to push an agenda that is not grounded in facts. Miller also noted that organizations such as the NAHB have carried out a policy to oppose internationally-accepted restraints on unfairly traded building products,” to help achieve this objective. Over the years NAHB and Canada have held numerous meetings together and appear to be well coordinated in their messaging attacking the enforcement of the U.S. trade laws against unfairly traded Canadian lumber imports.
