President Trump's recent executive order significantly increases the White House's control over independent government agencies that were designed to function autonomously. This mandates that agencies like the FCC, SEC, and FTC submit major regulations to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for evaluation. OMB, led by Trump ally Russell Vought, will set performance metrics for agency leaders and oversee their budget usage, reflecting Trump’s ongoing efforts to assert authority over bodies with which he has previously clashed—particularly on issues like election integrity and media scrutiny during his presidency.
Trump's order grants sweeping control to the White House over independent agencies, requiring major regulations to be submitted for review by the Office of Management and Budget.
Agency heads will now be subject to performance standards set by the White House, with updates provided directly to Trump about their compliance with these standards.
