  "summary": "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.\n\nAccording 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\".\n\nThe 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.",
