The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced today that his Government will exclude Canadian-origin products from certain US executive procurement programs.
The measure represents an escalation in trade tensions between the two countries and aims to prioritize the acquisition of domestic products over Canadian products.
The decision affects government procurement programs, which traditionally represent a significant market for Canadian suppliers.
This threat comes in the context of a series of protectionist measures adopted by the Trump administration since the beginning of its term, which aim to reduce the United States' dependence on foreign products.
