Quebec’s premier has raised concerns about the potential impact of the tariff proposed by U.S. president-elect Donald Trump on the province’s forest industry.
“It will be important to protect our economy and our businesses in the coming months, and we are already working on our strategy with the relevant ministers within the government,” he wrote in French. “I have great admiration for all the workers in our forestry industry, whether they are in logging, transportation, sawmills or reforestation.”
Trump has promised to impose the tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico unless the two countries stop illegal border crossings and prevent illicit drugs from entering the United States. “Even before Mr. Trump’s announcement, we were working to support a Quebec industry that is already affected by tariffs in the United States: the forestry industry,” Legault said in his statement Sunday. “While waiting for the federal government to resolve this trade dispute, the economy of several municipalities and several regions is threatened.”
