Trump orders Canadian goods stripped from $50 billion in federal contract schedules

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.

  • Announced on Truth Social: "From now on, NO RECIPROCITY, NO ACCESS!"
  • Comes a day after Trump threatened to ban Bombardier jet sales in the US
