U.S. Lumber Industry and Workers Letter to President Trump

May 27, 2025

President Donald J. Trump
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Dear President Trump,

Thank you, President Trump, for your strong leadership in enforcing our trade laws against unfairly traded Canadian lumber imports that have suppressed the full production capability of the U.S. industry for far too long. You are precisely right: the United States does not need unfairly traded Canadian lumber imports.

Strong enforcement of U.S. trade laws against dumped and subsidized Canadian lumber imports has generated $7 billion dollars in duty deposit collections paid directly by Canadian lumber companies and has pushed down Canada’s ill-gotten U.S. market share to levels that we have not seen since the 1970s.

We applaud your commitment to making the United States wholly self-reliant for all of its softwood lumber needs. A cornerstone of this objective will be the continued full enforcement of the U.S. trade laws as well as other initiatives brought about through your leadership. With continuous and unrelenting enforcement against Canada’s unfair trade, the United States can become fully self-reliant in lumber. The trade cases must remain in place as long as Canadian subsidization and dumping continue.

Since 2016, U.S. mills have added nine billion board feet of production capacity and produced 30 billion additional board feet of softwood lumber. This increase alone is enough to build two million single family homes and has more than offset the decline in unfairly traded Canadian lumber imports.

We reject any efforts by interests promoting a Canada First trade policy that prioritize unfairly traded lumber imports over the interests of our domestic industry and workforce.

Continued strong enforcement of the U.S. trade laws to level the playing field against unfairly traded Canadian lumber imports is exactly what must happen to keep expanding U.S. lumber manufacturing and availability to build more American homes with American lumber.

Recorded U.S. lumber community messages directly thanking President Trump for his trade law enforcement and the positive impacts on U.S. manufacturing: https://bit.ly/4kAYtgz
