Trump Orders Removal of Canadian Goods from U.S. Federal Procurement

President Donald Trump signed a memorandum directing U.S. agencies to identify and remove Canadian-origin goods from federal civil procurement programs. The order escalates a broader trade dispute with Ottawa and follows Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on American products. The White House says the measure responds to what it describes as unfair restrictions on U.S. companies seeking Canadian government contracts. The policy could affect suppliers, purchasing schedules, and bilateral trade relations, while adding pressure to negotiations between the two North American neighbors.
