On April 9, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order aimed at addressing regulations perceived as anti-competitive.

The order directs agency heads to review existing regulations and identify those that create barriers to competition, monopolies, or unnecessary burdens on businesses. This initiative is part of the President’s broader deregulatory agenda, which seeks to promote a more competitive and prosperous economic environment in the United States.

As part of this Executive Order, agency heads are required to provide the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chairman and the Attorney General with a list of regulations that may need to be rescinded or modified within 70 days. The order emphasizes the importance of public input, inviting American citizens to share their experiences with regulations that may hinder competition and entrepreneurship. This feedback will be taken into account as agencies determine which regulations should be adjusted.

The initiative highlights a commitment to enhancing market competition, which is believed to lower prices, accelerate innovation, and increase options for consumers. By seeking input from the public and focusing on deregulation, the administration aims to ensure that the U.S. economy remains competitive and dynamic, thereby supporting ongoing economic growth.
