Canadian goods banned from U.S. government purchases in escalating trade fight
Earlier this month, Trump signalled he would cut Canadian goods from U.S. government purchases ‘unless Canada restores full and fair reciprocity for American Farmers and Companies’
US President Donald Trump has directed federal agencies to remove Canadian goods from government contracts. This move is an escalation of trade tensions between the two countries.
According to the National Post, Trump had earlier signalled that he would cut Canadian goods from US government purchases unless Canada restored "full and fair reciprocity for American Farmers and Companies".
The CityNews reported that Trump first threatened to remove Canadian-origin products from the federal government’s “awards schedules” last week, seemingly referring to Ottawa’s “Buy Canadian” policy.
