President Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday, and his control over “so-called independent bodies” to curb regulatory units (including the Federal Trade Commission) that currently lack direct control of the White House. has been expanded.
The order requires that all independent federal and administrative agencies submit draft regulations and be reviewed by the White House, and contact them with the Trump administration about priorities and strategic plans.
Federal agencies also have performance standards and budget allocations reviewed by the White House, the order said.
“So-called independent bodies, such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), have exercised enormous power over the American people without the president's oversight.” White House Fact Sheet Details of the movement were mentioned.
“These agencies will issue rules and regulations that cost billions of dollars and include some of the most controversial policy issues, and do so without the review of a democratically elected president.”
“They also spend US taxes, prioritize and set their own performance standards without consulting the president,” Sheet continued.
“Now they no longer impose rules on Americans without surveillance or accountability.”
The directive does not fully apply to monetary policy functions such as the strong Federal Reserve and interest rate cuts.
Trump signed the order with others on Tuesday. This includes those intended to fulfill the campaign pledge to make Vitro Fertilization (IVF) free for parents.
“Promise. The promise is maintained: President Trump has just signed an executive order to expand access to the IVF!” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tweeted.
“This order directs policy recommendations to protect IVF access and actively reduce the out-of-pocket and health planning costs of such treatment.”
Trump vowed the campaign trail to free the IVF if he regained power, as Democrats allegedly claimed that the GOP against abortion threatened access to the proceedings.
