U.S. Housing Is In jeopardy as Timber Giant COLLAPSES Amid Canada Tariffs – Trump’s Trade War

U.S.-Canada trade stress intensified as President Trump enforced a 25% tariff on Canadian softwood lumber, reigniting a decades-long lumber war. This relocation, alongside a 10% tariff on Canadian oil and energy items, pressed overall responsibilities near 40% by July, following a 20.56% anti-dumping rate set by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The tariffs intend to protect U.S. mills from subsidized Canadian competitors however have triggered swift financial fallout. Weyerhaeuser, a U.S. wood giant, reported a 50% revenue drop in Q2 2025, citing weak demand and tariff unpredictability, with an additional $60 million profit decline expected in Q3. The U.S. real estate market is reeling, with single-family home sales plunging and tariffs potentially including $14,000 to brand-new home costs by 2027. Canada is countering tactically, leveraging its $1 trillion pension stake in the U.S. and thinking about lumber export quotas while rerouting exports to Europe and Asia. The Trump administration is pushing a domestic wood revival, increasing federal harvest quotas by 25%, but experts warn this will add less than 1% to provide. As the August 1 deadline looms, bipartisan U.S. senators look for a USMCA-backed option, however legal and environmental difficulties threaten development. This high-stakes clash of politics and production will shape North American trade and construction, with increasing expenses and market unpredictability impacting markets and consumers alike.
