    If you were confused (like me) as to how a lumber mill in the US was hurt by tariffs on foreign countries — they were importing their trees from Canada. Plenty of trees in the US, but I guess they’re all spoken for. 🤷‍♂️

    “The U.S. lumber sector is reeling from tariffs on Canadian softwood, which have climbed to 45%. With roughly 30% of its supply coming from Canada”
