The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) represents those who make the essential paper and wood products Americans use every day.

We appreciated @USTradeRep remarks that the U.S. is not driving deforestation during a conversation with @CFR_org. The EU must work with the U.S. to deliver flexibility on EUDR and avoid harm to American paper manufacturers.

We extend our deepest sympathies to everyone affected by this week’s tragedy in Longview. Our hearts go out to the families of those who were lost and injured. We share our support to all impacted by this tragedy. Read the statement from AF&PA and NWPPA: https://t.co/ZHVgsqfYnM

Paper products play critical roles in our daily lives. That’s why consistent access to them is important. Essential items like toilet paper, printer paper, cereal boxes and pulp for diapers are manufactured year-round in the U.S.

On Memorial Day, we honor the memory and sacrifice of those who gave their lives for our country.

Throughout our history, service members and their families have stayed connected across distance and time—through paper letters, cards and care packages that carried words, hope and love when it mattered most.

As we reflect today, we’re reminded of the simple, powerful ways people have always stayed connected.

Paper has been a foundational part of America for 250 years. Built to last, the U.S. paper industry supports daily life, strengthens the American economy, and continues evolving to meet the needs of today and tomorrow.

The EU's Deforestation Regulation (#EUDR) is creating unnecessary barriers for U.S. forest products → https://t.co/XzNot3GxYk

U.S. producers estimate that a single shipment of forest products may include thousands of individual plots of land, and a single container can require tens of thousands of geolocation data points—despite America's well-established forest governance and negligible deforestation risk. As the American @ForestandPaper Association notes, these requirements "divert resources away from forest management, innovation, and trade, while creating non-tariff trade barriers that conflict with broader transatlantic trade commitments."

The Commission’s simplification review of EUDR did not address core concerns of this regulation: removal of onerous and costly compliance requirements for countries that do not contribute to global deforestation like the United States.

Our industry voluntarily invests to improve paper recycling to ensure it remains strong. Each day in America, about 125,000 tons of paper is recycled! Paper is one of the most successfully recycled materials in the U.S.

In his first term, President Trump asked manufacturers to support the USMCA, and we have been proud to do so every step of the way. We partnered with the president and Congress to drive the USMCA into law and supported the negotiations to deliver a winning deal for the American people. We kept our promises to use the USMCA’s provisions to fortify the American supply chain, power more American jobs and drive more American growth. Now is our chance to double down on behalf of the American people. Let’s preserve the USMCA, strengthen it and lead with it—creating more jobs and expanding production for the United States.

Today, my Recycling Infrastructure and Accessibility Act passed the E&C Environment Subcommittee!

This bill expands recycling access in rural and underserved communities, strengthens domestic supply chains, and supports American manufacturing. 🇺🇸

The Recycling Infrastructure and Accessibility Act is a critical step in enhancing recycling access for all Americans, especially those who live in underserved or rural areas. We applaud @RepMMM's leadership.

Cardboard boxes are an essential part of daily life for American households and businesses. Protecting and shipping items to customers cross-country and cross-border, they keep America moving forward.

The EU had a clear opportunity to make EUDR workable and to honor its 2025 trade framework commitment to avoid undue harm to U.S. manufacturers. It chose not to. No fixes mean more risk. EUDR must be addressed in any U.S/EU trade commitments. https://t.co/Iu9M8Nlq2G

[AF&PA @ForestandPaper]

As @USAmbEU said, a deal is a deal. The EU Commission recognized that the U.S. poses negligible risk to global deforestation in August of 2025. They didn’t honor their agreement. EUDR must be addressed in any U.S. trade deal with the EU. https://t.co/Iu9M8Nlq2G

[United States Trade Representative @USTradeRep]

The European Union has yet to implement a single part of their trade deal obligations since reaching an agreement last summer.

Full compliance will open up greater economic opportunities.

AF&PA testified before @USTradeRep on its Section 301 investigation into structural excess capacity. We asked the Committee for a fact-based review of excess capacity that supports a level playing field for U.S. pulp and paper manufacturing. https://t.co/0ajUCSQdaH

[Ambassador Andrew Puzder @USAmbEU]

A deal is a deal. In August 2025, the EU Commission recognized that the U.S. poses negligible risk to global deforestation. Today I met with Commissioner @JessikaRoswall to urge the EU to act on that reality. The Commission's simplification review of the EU’s Deforestation Regulation, which ends April 30, should deliver real results, reducing regulatory compliance costs and costs for European consumers — not increasing bureaucracy. U.S. producers don't contribute to deforestation and shouldn't face costly geolocation requirements that increase the costs of their products with no environmental benefits. We are hopeful that the EU will address the very serious and legitimate concerns of U.S. producers and exporters.
