    The Executive Order 13975, issued by the President, emphasizes the policy of buying American-made goods to support national economic goals. It encourages the United States Postal Service (USPS) to adopt similar procurement policies as those applied across other federal agencies, particularly concerning domestic content requirements and price preferences for American products. The order suggests that the USPS align its rules with the Federal Acquisition Regulation to boost the use of American-made materials in its purchases. It highlights that the order should not interfere with existing legal authorities or create new legal rights.
