On April 3rd, 2019, President Trump issued a memorandum calling for greater efforts from the Federal Government and third-party platforms towards the policing of counterfeit goods:
“Third-party intermediaries, including online third-party marketplaces, carriers, customs brokers, payment providers, vendors, and others involved in international transactions, can all be beneficial partners in combating trafficking in counterfeit and pirated goods. In order to build on cooperative efforts that are already underway with such partners, a coordinated approach by the Federal Government, including its law enforcement agencies, and private industry is needed.”
