The specific pledge to ban companies that outsource jobs from doing business with the federal government had not been enacted or formally proposed as of July 3, 2026. The administration did act on the Hire American side: a September 19, 2025 proclamation imposed a $100,000 payment requirement on new H-1B petitions, citing the replacement of American workers (a federal district court held the fee unlawful on June 8, 2026, but it remains in effect pending appeal), and the January 20, 2025 America First Trade Policy memorandum ordered a review of trade-agreement procurement commitments to favor domestic workers under the Buy American and Hire American framework. Some strengthening was delivered, but the promise's concrete federal-contracting ban remains untouched.
