[Trump instructs government procurement to exclude Canadian products] September 9th, US President Trump posted on social media platforms on September 8th local time, once again accusing Canada of "taking advantage of the United States for many years" and claiming that Canada is imposing a "trade scam" on the United States. Trump said, "The Canadian federal and provincial governments prohibit small and medium-sized U.S. enterprises from entering Canada's government procurement market. However, at the same time, Canada can fully enter the large-scale U.S. government procurement market, including government procurement in U.S. states. From now on, no one can enter our market without reciprocity! I hereby instruct the U.S. General Services Administration, in conjunction with the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, to take all measures Necessary measures to remove Canadian-origin products from the General Services Administration’s multiple-award procurement program unless Canada restores full and fair reciprocity for American farmers and businesses,” Trump said in the post, “These purchases involve more than $50 billion in annual trade. This matter should have been cut off by the previous administration, just like I did, but it was restored by ‘Sleepy Joe’ Biden.” (CCTV International News)
