Quote:
The executive order directs agencies to strengthen requirements about purchasing products and services from U.S. workers and businesses, cuts some red tape and creates a position in the Office of Management and Budget responsible for enforcing the directive, an administration official told reporters on a conference call Sunday.
The order will also reiterate the Biden administration's support for the Jones Act, which limits foreign maritime shipping between U.S. ports to U.S.-made and -owned vessels.
During the campaign, Biden proposed a Buy American plan calling for a $400 billion, four-year increase in government purchasing of U.S.-made products and services. Former President Donald Trump made a similar push, but the Biden administration official said the new effort is a "clear directive" with a "clear direction."

The plan promises to increase the amount of U.S. content a project would require to qualify as being “made in America.”
It also includes a “crackdown” on waivers like the hard-won exceptions Canada secured during the Obama administration in 2010.
