Ensuring Truthful Advertising of Products Claiming To Be Made in America

This EO directs the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission to prioritize enforcement actions against sellers and manufacturers making false "Made in America" or similar American-origin claims, and directs the FTC to consider regulations providing that an online marketplace's failure to verify country-of-origin claims may constitute an unfair or deceptive act or practice. Agencies overseeing country-of-origin labeling shall consider regulations promoting voluntary labeling for U.S.-made products, and agencies overseeing government-wide acquisition contracts shall periodically verify American-origin claims, remove misrepresented products from procurement, and refer offending contractors or vendors to the Department of Justice for possible False Claims Act actions.
