Significance
This is a recent example of the Trump administration’s wide deregulation push. The administration intends to aid US industry, but opponents fear deregulation now means trouble later.
Impacts
Environmental deregulation will see further pushback, especially in wealthy and Democratic-led states.
Democratic-led states are likely to increase regulation over data protection.
If the Democrats win the Senate, a re-elected Trump would pursue further deregulation via executive orders.
The administration’s appointment of many conservative judges could blunt courts’ willingness to rule against deregulation.
