President Donald Trump has directed the removal of Canadian goods from US government procurement schedules, citing a lack of fair reciprocity. The move comes as part of an ongoing trade dispute between the two nations. The White House announced the decision in response to Canada’s recent retaliatory tariffs on US products.
The order affects a range of Canadian imports, including alcoholic beverages and cheese, which are now subject to new tariffs. Trump has accused Canada of not offering fair trade terms, prompting the US to impose additional restrictions. The decision has sparked concerns among Canadian businesses and trade officials.
The trade war has intensified in recent weeks, with both countries imposing retaliatory measures. The latest actions highlight the growing friction between the two allies. Analysts warn that the situation could lead to further economic consequences for both nations.
The White House has not yet provided a timeline for the full implementation of the new restrictions. The move underscores the deepening divide in US-Canada trade relations.
