President Donald J. Trump signed a 2025 Executive Order targeting federal regulatory overreach, directing agencies to review regulations for legal compliance and alignment with administration policies. This initiative prioritizes rescinding costly or legally questionable rules and deprioritizes enforcement actions exceeding statutory authority. The order builds on Trump's first-term deregulatory efforts, countering what it describes as the Biden administration's "$1.7 trillion burden" on Americans while exempting national security and immigration functions[1].
