Klobuchar Statement on President Trump Revoking the Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy

WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law, released the following statement on President Trump revoking the Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy.
“President Trump’s decision is a step backward for consumers, entrepreneurs, workers, and family farmers. It will lead to higher prices, fewer choices, and less innovation. The Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission must vigorously enforce the antitrust laws, including by continuing to move forward cases brought under the last Administration. I will keep fighting in Congress to modernize our laws so competition flourishes, innovation accelerates, and American consumers are treated fairly.”
