President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that will direct the Treasury secretary to review the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial overhaul.

It’s Trump’s first step at scaling back regulations on financial services.

Trump has called the law a “disaster” and said it failed to address some of the causes of the 2008-2009 financial crisis.
