"It's a combination of the fact that Brexit pushed prices up - one of our suppliers in France has just told us they can't supply us anymore"
This was just an article that shows its a global issue, how does Brexit affect the USA?
Of course brexiteers will blame anything/anyone but brexit!

How much of that do you think comes via the Suez Canal?The UK construction sector consumes roughly 5 million cubic metres of softwood each year. But despite an abundance of forests and woodland, a staggering 80% of it comes from abroad, and Britain remains the world's third-largest net importer of forest products, after China and Japan
