Trump’s new Canada tariff threatens Toilet Paper supply

"The Trump administration’s latest tariff promise on softwood lumber may disrupt the supply chain of toilet paper and paper towels, Bloomberg reported. The U.S. relies heavily on Canadian northern bleached softwood kraft (NBSK) pulp to make these bathroom and kitchen staples, with about 2 million tons imported last year. But now the administration plans to double duties on Canadian softwood lumber to 27 percent, with the possibility of additional levies pushing the rate to over 50 percent. These tariffs not only risk higher prices and supply constraints, but they could even result in toilet paper shortages. Not to mention a cascading effect on the supply chain. "


GOOD TIMES AHEAD!
