Trump Directs Removal of Canadian Goods From Federal Procurement System

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a memorandum ordering federal officials to identify and remove, or otherwise make unavailable for purchase, goods of Canadian origin from the federal civilian procurement system, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.

The memorandum directs relevant government agencies to review current procurement channels and take steps to exclude Canadian-made products from the list of items available for purchase by federal civilian entities, the report said.

Anadolu Agency did not provide further details in the excerpt regarding the specific agencies tasked with implementation, a timeline for compliance, or the stated rationale behind the directive.

The move follows a period of trade tensions between the United States and Canada, though the source did not specify the broader context or any official comment from Canadian authorities in response to the memorandum.

This report is based on limited available information from Anadolu Agency, and further details on the scope and impact of the directive were not immediately available.
