U.S. firms captured a record $244 billion in foreign government procurement contracts in 2025, aided by the Department of Commerce, the International Trade Administration said on Jan. 23.
Businesses were able to secure these deals partly due to President Donald Trump’s trade deals, says Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
