Nova Scotia ended U.S. supplier contracts over trade war

Nova Scotia has terminated contracts and agreements with eleven U.S. suppliers, totaling $130,600, due to the ongoing trade war. The province cancelled contracts with two American companies and declined to renew agreements with nine others, including Fisher Scientific and Global Industrial. Premier Tim Houston stated the government is actively seeking Canadian alternatives to reduce reliance on U.S. firms. This action follows President Trump's imposed tariffs on Canadian goods, prompting Nova Scotia to seek ways to limit business with American companies. The premier previously criticized Trump's trade policies.
