Tariff discussions and litigation continue to dominate the news. President Trump's reciprocal tariffs were ruled unlawful by a U.S. appeals court. This tees up the issue to be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Although the reciprocal tariffs have been in the headlines, decorative hardwood products have largely been exempted because of the ongoing Section 232 national security review of imports of wood products. DHA commented in support of tariffs on wood products in this review. President Trump recently hinted at an upcoming announcement on the Section 232 national security review of wood products when he posted about forthcoming furniture tariffs within 50 days. The wood products Section 232 review is on a stronger legal footing than the reciprocal tariffs, as it has undergone a well-documented process.
