Members of the House on both sides of the aisle are joining forces to urge President Joe Biden to appeal the European Union’s globally criticized deforestation regulations, which they claim will hurt the entire forestry supply chain in the United States. 

In a letter led by Rep. Michelle Steel (R-CA), the legislators called on Biden to request a two-year delay of the controversial law, known as the EU Deforestation-free Regulation, which companies will be required to comply with by the end of December.
