Quebec's premier, François Legault, expresses worries about the potential impact of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's proposed policies on the province's forest industry, particularly regarding high interest rates and existing duties on softwood lumber. The sector, which supports over 50,000 jobs, is under pressure.
