President Donald Trump has enacted measures aimed at boosting domestic lumber production while addressing the impacts of imported lumber on national security. The new executive order is intended to streamline the permitting process for lumber, reduce housing costs, and enhance forest management practices to prevent wildfires. Additionally, the Commerce Department will investigate the national security implications of lumber imports from countries like Canada and Brazil, as the U.S. positions itself against foreign subsidies affecting the lumber market.
