Ottawa: US President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Canada could trigger an unexpected crisis in America, leading to panic-buying seen at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. The Trump administration’s plan to almost double duties on Canadian softwood lumber could disrupt the supply chain for something nobody wants to be caught without– toilet paper. Trump has promised to hike duties on softwood lumber to 27 per cent as soon as April 2, with the possibility of additional levies pushing the rate to more than 50 per cent.
