While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired.

In response to the American tariffs, I have directed government and crown agencies to exclude US suppliers from any new purchasing or procurement agreements.
It’s just one of the actions we are taking to prioritize Canada first.
