  "account": "U.S. President Donald Trump signed an order on September 17, 2026 directing federal agencies to remove all products of Canadian origin from U.S. government procurement. This move comes as the Trump administration escalates its trade war with Canada, following the breakdown of negotiations between the two nations last month.\n\nThe executive order comes after Trump threatened to remove all Canadian-origin products from the federal government’s \"awards schedules\" in a social media post earlier in the week. Trump accused Canada of engaging in a \"Canadian Trade Scam\" with its \"Buy Canadian\" policy, which was introduced in response to the president's tariffs and threats of annexation.\n\nSince then, Trump has signed executive orders to ban imports of certain Canadian goods, including motorcycles, dairy products, and alcoholic beverages. The new order to remove all Canadian products from federal procurement is the latest escalation in the ongoing trade dispute.",
