B.C. lumber industry looks with trepidation to second Trump presidency

With Donald Trump poised to become only the second former U.S. president elected to a non-consecutive second term, B.C.’s lumber industry is already feeling the pain of tariffs. CBC News reports that B.C. forestry firms are seeing more growth in the U.S than at home. Trump introduced countervailing duties on Canadian softwood lumber in his first term, a policy maintained by his successor Joe Biden, and has pledged to hike them in his second.
