Any time you rely on a foreign country or entity for materials critical to infrastructure there is a legimate potential for a national security issue.

May seem like a stretch, but its really not.

If we have trees, and we have a wildfire issue involving the fact we have too many trees, we should be leveraging that resource.

RESPONSIBLY.

Also not sure where you work, but western forests have a near endless supply of timber value.
