President Donald Trump has issued an executive order revoking a previous order promoting competition in the US economy. The move comes as part of a broader effort to alter the rules governing business and industry.
The revoked order, signed on July 9, 2021, aimed to increase competition by limiting market concentration. However, the new order does not provide further details on how it will be implemented or what changes it will bring about.
The revised order emphasizes that nothing in it will affect existing laws and regulations governing executive departments, agencies, and budgetary processes. It also clarifies that the move is subject to available appropriations and does not create any new rights or benefits for individuals or organizations.
Signed by Trump on August 13, 2025, the order’s publication costs are to be borne by the Department of Justice.
