1. Newsprint was once made in the US and was plentiful and cheap.

One of the pressures on US mills was even cheaper Canadian newsprint.

Here is an example of a Newsprint mill in Oregon that can produce the needed product but it in mothballs. There also hundreds of good paying union jobs that could be filled. The former staff just needs to be called back and the mill restarted.

Remember, there are two sides to every story and tariff.
