Trump tariffs idle Quebec paper mill, threatening Témiscaming's survival
Briefing by News4U · First published
BBC World reports that US tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump have forced the RYAM-owned paper mill in Témiscaming, Quebec, into an indefinite economic shutdown, idling 360 workers who now receive partial government tariff-relief pay. Residents including union leader Stéphane Lefebvre and Mayor Alain Gauthier are seeking federal and provincial support to buy the mill back from RYAM, warning that closure would turn the town into a "ghost town."
