B.C.’s Forest Minister said the latest executive order from U.S. President Donald Trump is “nothing more than a distraction” after Trump signed two orders to increase his country’s domestic supply of timber while reducing its reliance of timber imports from other countries, including Canada. 

President Trump on Saturday signed a pair of actions to increase domestic lumber production, including appointing a directive for the Commerce Department to investigate the possible harms that lumber imports pose to national security.
