Trump Administration Surges in Regulations, Impacts Industries with Tariffs and Visa Changes
President Trump's administration has seen a surge in regulatory activity, with a significant increase in proposed and final regulations, and notices issued in recent weeks. Meanwhile, the President has made headlines with controversial statements and policy changes, including raising tariffs on pharmaceuticals and signing an executive order affecting high-skilled immigrant visas in the United States.
Last week, agencies issued 21 proposed regulations, following a higher number of 29 the week before. Final regulations also saw an increase, with 62 issued compared to 49 the previous week. The trend suggests a busy year ahead, with agencies on pace to issue 2,599 final regulations in 2025 in the United States, a decrease from the 3,248 issued in 2024. Notices also saw a dip, with 431 published last week compared to 511 the week before, but the administration is still on track to issue 20,318 notices in 2025 in the United States, down from 25,506 in 2024.
In other news, President Trump raised tariffs on pharmaceuticals, a move that could impact the cost of medicines in the United States. He also signed an executive order to effectively end the H-1B visa category for high-skilled immigrants in the United States, a decision that could have significant implications for the tech industry. In a speech at the United Nations, Trump argued without evidence that aspirin causes autism, a statement that was widely criticized.
The Trump administration's regulatory activity shows no signs of slowing down, with agencies on pace to issue thousands of final regulations and notices in the coming year in the United States. Meanwhile, the President's controversial statements and policy changes continue to make headlines, with potential impacts on various industries and sectors in the United States.
