The Trump administration is initiating a widespread deregulation effort across more than 400 federal agencies that oversee various aspects of American life, including aviation and food processing. This initiative involves rapidly repealing or freezing hundreds of regulations affecting sectors such as health, food safety, workplace safety, and transportation. A key component of this deregulatory push is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which plans to reduce its inspections of financial services companies by half. The CFPB will shift its focus towards protecting military personnel while deprioritizing oversight in areas like student loans, medical debt, digital payments, and consumer data. This move marks the second phase of the Trump administration’s broader strategy to overhaul the federal bureaucracy.
