US President Trump posted on social media platforms on September 8, local time, once again accusing Canada of “taking advantage of America for many years” and claiming that Canada is imposing “trade scams” on the US. Trump said, “The Canadian federal and provincial governments prohibit US SMEs from entering the Canadian government procurement market. However, at the same time, Canada has full access to the huge US government procurement market, including government procurement in various US states. From now on, don't want to enter our market without reciprocity! I hereby instruct the US General Services Administration, together with the Office of the United States Trade Representative, to take all necessary measures to remove products originating in Canada from the General Services Administration's multiple grant procurement program, unless Canada resumes full fair and reciprocal benefits to American farmers and businesses.” In his post, Trump said, “These purchases involve an annual trade volume of more than 50 billion US dollars. This matter should have been cut off by the previous administration, just like I did back then, but as a result, it was reinstated by 'Sleepy Jo' Biden.”
