Trump Administration Responds To Canada's Buy Canadian Policies
President Trump has signed a presidential memorandum directing federal officials to restrict certain Canadian-origin products from the federal civilian procurement system. The action is in response to Canada’s Buy Canadian policies, which prioritize Canadian suppliers and goods in government procurement. The memorandum aligns with the administration’s broader procurement and trade reforms, and directs the Office of Management and Budget and the U.S. Trade Representative to identify Canadian-origin items that may be removed or designated as unavailable for purchase by federal civilian agencies. This development was reported by an unknown source.
