July 15 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order to increase the government's use of American-made products during his annual Made in America showcase.
The order calls on the Trump administration to review and amend the Buy American Act, which says that a product is considered foreign made if the cost of foreign materials used to make the product is 50 percent or more of the total cost. The order suggests reducing that number to 5 percent for iron and steel end products, and 45 percent for all other products.
