The purpose of this executive order is to protect American consumers and businesses from foreign manufacturers and sellers that represent their products are made in the United States in order to target patriotic consumers, when, in fact, those products are largely produced and manufactured in other countries. The chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is directed to prioritize enforcement actions in cases in which sellers or manufacturers falsely claim that a product is made in America; the FTC is to consider issuing proposed regulations providing that the failure of an online marketplace to establish procedures for verifying country of origin claims may constitute an unfair or deceptive practice under the Federal Trade Commission Act. All agencies with oversight of country-of-origin labeling are to consider promulgating regulations that promote voluntary country of origin labeling for products made or manufactured in the United States.  

Finally, all government agencies that oversee government wide acquisition contracts are to (1) review and verify any claims of American origin for products acquired through those contracts and are to remove from government procurement the products of any contractors or vendors found to misrepresent an American origin status of products sold to the government and (2) refer the relevant contractors or vendors to the Department of Justice to pursue actions under the False Claims Act.
