:: Friday, February 28, 2003 ::
The Lumber Tariff Dispute - Let's Work It Out The United States has a closer relationship with Canada than with any other nation - economically, diplomatically, and strategically. We are each other's largest trading partners; Canada imports more goods from the U.S. than any other nation. We share more than just a friendly 5,500-mile border; we share a common outlook on the world and a mutual commitment to security and trade.
Our economic interdependence has proved enduring and remarkably beneficial to both nations. Yet a new import tax on U.S. consumers - a 27% tariff on Canadian lumber imposed by the U.S. - is threatening the very economic vitality that forms the core of our economic growth and the foundation of our friendship.------------------------------------------- posted 9:24 PM :: reference link ::
