President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order directing federal agencies to cut regulations in a move to spur economic growth after weeks of lockdowns that were intended to slow the spread of the CCP virus.

Trump, who signed the order during a cabinet meeting, told federal agencies to do away with “unnecessary regulations that impede economic recovery” and also directs agencies to “review the hundreds of regulations we’ve already suspended in response to the virus and make the suspensions permanent where possible.”
