[US Plans to Exclude Canadian Goods from Federal Government Procurement] A White House announcement on the 16th indicated that the Trump administration plans to disqualify Canadian goods from participating in US federal civilian government procurement. The US stated this move is in retaliation for Canada's "Buy Canadian" policy, accusing Canada of restricting US companies' access to its government procurement markets at all levels. The US claims that Canadian companies were previously eligible to participate in US procurement projects exceeding $280 billion. The US has previously imposed tariffs on certain Canadian alcoholic beverages, dairy products, and motor vehicles. (CCTV)
