Truth on the Market

Anticompetitive regulatory distortions are a major drag on the U.S. economy. President Donald Trump’s April 9 “Executive Order on Reducing Anti-Competitive Regulatory Barriers” has the potential to drive dramatic U.S. economic growth. Implementation of the executive order may be expected to face legal challenges and opposition from special interests who benefit from the status quo. A substantial reduction in federal regulatory burdens could benefit American businesses and families directly. It could also provide the Trump administration with negotiating leverage to obtain a reduction in harmful foreign anticompetitive international trade distortions.
