‘The Big Money Show’ announces the winners of FOX Business’ ‘Made in America’ competition.
President Donald Trump said on Sunday that federal agencies must prioritize products made in the United States in government purchases, suggesting efforts to strengthen the enforcement of “American” policies and different restrictions that allow foreign goods.
“ALL GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS MUST BUY AMERICANS – NO EXCUSES!” Trump exclaimed on Truth Social. “For decades, Washington politicians have been sending your Taxpayer Dollars overseas, and allowing Foreign Countries to draw us while our Workers, Industries, and Supply Chains remain. That betrayal is OVER.
“My Administration is strengthening MADE IN AMERICA Laws, ENDING Waiver Loopholes, and STOPPING the Federal Government from buying Foreign Products when Great American Products are available – And to the DC Executive: NO MORE giving out Waivers like candy!” he continued. “No more exceptions to the rubber stamping of Foreign Products while American Workers are being shaved.
“We’re putting American Workers, American Factories, and American Supply Chains FIRST – Bigger, better, and stronger than ever before! I’ve already signed EO 14392 to end false “MADE IN AMERICA” claims, and we’re enforcing it HARD,” he added. “No more games. No more fake labels. No more ripping off the American Taxpayer. AMERICA FIRST means BUY AMERICAN!”

The comments come as the Trump administration seeks to strengthen domestic procurement requirements for all government purchases, part of a broader drive to boost US manufacturing and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
In March, Trump signed an executive order aimed at combating fake “Made in America” labels by foreign manufacturers and sellers, Reuters reported.

The order directs the Federal Trade Commission to prioritize enforcement against companies that falsely label products as US-made or make misleading origin claims in violation of existing law.
It also calls on federal agencies responsible for country-of-origin labeling to work with the FTC to consider new rules and ensure consistent guidance across the government.

As part of the administration’s broader focus on domestic manufacturing, the order requires agencies overseeing government procurement contracts to periodically verify that products advertised as made in America meet those standards and directs suspected violations to be referred to the US Department of Justice for possible action.
