Reducing Anti-Competitive Regulatory Barriers

President Trump issued an executive order directing executive agency heads, in consultation with the Attorney General and Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, to begin the process of eliminating anti-competitive regulations. "Federal regulations should not predetermine economic winners and losers.  Yet some regulations operate to exclude new market entrants.  Regulations that reduce competition, entrepreneurship, and innovation—as well as the benefits they create for American consumers—should be eliminated. This order commences the process for eliminating anti-competitive regulations to revitalize the American economy."
