Russian timber industry benefitting from US-Canada trade dispute

In what is probably just a coincidence, imports of Russian lumber have jumped 42% this year after Trump dramatically increased tariffs on the import of Canadian lumber after being prompted by the US lumber industry. Nothing to see here. Move on. Move on.

It's a 4 day old story, but I post it here in case it got missed.
