Trump orders the examination of US sparmports

President Donald Trump ordered a new trade exam on Saturday that could increase more tariffs on imported wood, which increased the existing tasks for Canadian soft wood and 25% tariffs for all Canadian and Mexican goods that are supposed to come into force next week.

In his third new tariff examination in a week, Trump signed a memo order secretary Howard Lutnick to initiate a national security examination by the US Holzimports in accordance with Section 232 of the 1962 Commercial Administrator. Trump also used the trade law to arrange tariffs for global steel and aluminum imports.

The probe covers diet -in wooden products that could include objects such as kitchen cupboards that were produced in some cases from exporting US wood, an official from the White House said.

The official said the investigation was accelerated by the trade department, but did not give a specific timeline. Trump also ordered new steps to increase domestic wood supply by improving the approval process for harvesting wood from public countries and improving the rescue of fallen trees from forests and waterways, the official said.

In a fact that the Weißen House facts enables new or updated instructions for the agency to facilitate increasing wood production, including quick permits for forest projects as part of the law on endangered species.

Peter Navarro, the trade advisor of the White House, said that the wooden fund examination would counteract the actions of large wood exporters such as Canada, Germany and Brazil. He said he was “wood in our markets at the expense of our economic prosperity and our national security”.

The official of the White House said that the increasing dependence on imported wood represents a possible national security risk, partly because the US military consumes considerable amounts of wood for its construction activities and because the increasing dependence on imports for a goods with plenty of domestic supplies for the US economy is a danger.

The officer did not state any details about a proposed tariff rate in accordance with Section 232 Wood examination, but Trump said at the beginning of this month that he was thinking that he thought about the tariff rate of 25% for wood and forest products.

The official said that all of the duties resulting from the probe would be added to the existing 14.5% anti-dumping and anti-subsidies to Canadian softwood.

These tasks were the result of a long-term trade dispute in the US Canada compared to Canadian low stump fees in public countries that argues Washington, an unfair subsidy. Most of the US wood is harvested at market-determined prices from a private country.

For a long time, the tariffs criticized the tariffs as the increase in wood prices and contributed to the inflation of homes.

The official said that the new wood duties were also threatened with 25% of US tariffs for all Canadian and Mexican goods that are to be effective on Tuesday.

The new tariff examination follows Trump's command on Tuesday for a new section 232 in copper imports, which aims to rebuild the US production of a metal for electric vehicles, military hardware and the power grid.

On February 21, Trump ordered the US trade representative Jamieson Greer to revive investigations to raise tariffs for imports from countries that control digital services. Canada would be again in the shooting line for such punishments, together with France, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Austria, India and Turkey.
