Trump Signs Memorandum to Exclude Canadian Products from US Federal Procurement
US President Donald Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing his administration to remove Canadian-origin goods from the US federal civil procurement system. The White House cited Canada's preferential treatment of domestic producers and restricted access for US companies in Canadian federal and provincial procurement markets. The memorandum tasks US officials with identifying and excluding Canadian products from federal purchases and monitoring Canada's treatment of US goods. This move escalates ongoing trade tensions involving tariffs and market access between the two countries.
