Biden Orders Feds to Buy American

Washington Post: “The executive order will call for increasing the amount of U.S. content that must be in a product for it to be considered made in America under existing ‘Buy American’ requirements. It will also create a website where American businesses can see what contracts are being awarded to foreign vendors, and a position at the White House Office of Management and Budget tasked with implementing Biden’s push on federal procurement, among other measures.”

“The order reflects in part the shifting consensus in American politics away from free trade and toward direct government intervention to promote U.S. producers and manufacturers.”
