Canada gov't sets news conference to react to U.S. lumber duties

OTTAWA, April 25 (Reuters) - Canadian Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr will hold a news conference at 1 pm eastern (1700 GMT) on Tuesday to react to a U.S. decision to impose duties on softwood lumber exports, the government said.

In a statement issued late on Monday night, Carr denounced the U.S. action and vowed to protect its lumber interests through litigation.
