    The Executive Order 14005, titled "Ensuring the Future Is Made in All of America by All of America's Workers," aims to ensure that the U.S. government prioritizes purchasing goods and services produced in America to support American businesses and workers. It establishes the Made in America Office within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to review waivers from this policy. The order also focuses on transparency and accountability in federal procurement, promoting the enforcement of existing "Buy American" laws, and revising regulations to strengthen these policies. Additionally, it revokes and supersedes certain past executive orders that are inconsistent with its objectives.

    Simple Explanation

    The President wants to make sure the government buys more things made in America to help American workers. A new office will check to make sure this is happening, but the extra rules and checks might make things a bit more complicated and expensive.

Comments are open until June 10, 2025, and submissions can be made through the specified government website.
