The federal government is outpacing President Donald Trump’s goal for saving through deregulation with two months left in the fiscal year, according to a report by the American Action Forum. Twelve out of 22 federal agencies have already met or surpassed the savings target set by the president last year.
Trump signed an executive order shortly after taking office last year ordering federal agencies to repeal two old regulations for each new one they create. Federal agencies quickly outpaced that requirement.
