According to a White House announcement on September 16, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a proclamation excluding products originating from Canada from U.S. government procurement plans. Trump had previously stated on social media on September 8 that he instructed the U.S. General Services Administration and the U.S. Trade Representative to take all necessary measures to exclude Canadian products until Canada restores 'fair reciprocity' to American farmers and businesses. This action follows the breakdown of U.S.-Canada trade negotiations in late August, after which the U.S. imposed a 50% tariff on approximately $200 billion worth of Canadian imports. Canada responded on September 8 with equivalent retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods.
