US Flags Made in America: New Rules for Federal Agencies

New rules require that U.S. flags displayed and purchased by federal agencies must be 100% made in the USA. This aims to support domestic manufacturing and ensure national symbols originate from American sources. Citizens may see a greater presence of "Made in USA" products in the public sector.
Key points
Federal agencies will only be allowed to display U.S. flags if they are entirely made in the United States.
Public funds cannot be used to purchase U.S. flags that are not 100% made domestically.
The Federal Trade Commission will conduct a study on enforcing country-of-origin labeling for flags to improve effectiveness.
