Trump Orders Removal of Canadian Products from US Government Procurement Over Trade Dispute
US President Donald Trump directed the General Services Administration and the US Trade Representative to remove Canadian-origin products from federal procurement programs, citing lack of reciprocal market access for American businesses and farmers. This move escalates an ongoing trade dispute following Canada's retaliatory tariffs on US goods. Trump criticized Canadian restrictions on American small businesses and dairy farmers, while Canada has yet to respond. The directive aims to maintain the ban until Canada offers equal access to US government procurement markets.
