Trump ordered to exclude Canadian goods from US government procurement

U.S. President Donald Trump signed a memorandum implying the exclusion of Canadian goods from federal public procurement. Information published on the White House website.

According to the document, the US Trade Representative and the Office of Management and Budget are instructed to take measures to identify products of Canadian origin to exclude them from the procurement system of civil federal agencies.

The Memorandum does not impose an immediate total ban, but lays the legal basis for further restrictions. According to the Canadian CBC News, the United States annually purchased Canadian goods for government needs for an average of $ 1.6 billion since 2021.
