Trump orders examinations of wooden moderation

On Saturday, US President Donald Trump signed another executive that his government shows to investigate potential cases what unfair trade practices for wood considers the United States.

This comes just a few days after Trump signed a similar action in which an investigation of copper was ordered. Trump also ordered a separate examination at the beginning of this month, which is supposed to pave the way for what the president calls “mutual tariffs”.

Trump previously said: “We have all the trees they need.” However, economists and home builders have pointed out that America currently does not have industrial capacity to satisfy the demand and that the taxpayer – or worse – can further tighten Canadian wooden in the United States.

All customs duties on wood that the examination considers appropriate could lie above all other tariffs that Trump enacts on the imports of other countries.
