Trump on Tuesday ordered the General Services Administration to drop Canadian-made goods from its main buying lists. He gave the US Trade Representative the same order. Those lists buy more than $50 billion a year. The goods stay out until Canada gives US firms "full and fair reciprocity." Canada's retaliatory tariffs began the same day.
