President Donald Trump is ushering in a new era of American prosperity by dismantling the regulatory state. As in his first term, where I was proud to serve, his administration is slashing red tape, unleashing U.S. energy, and turning the United States into the undisputed engine of global growth. Meanwhile, in the European Union, a left-wing cabal of bureaucrats is constructing a brick wall of regulations and compliance costs that punishes American businesses and threatens Trump’s golden age.
The EU has entered a phase of hostility toward American success. Brussels has long been the global hub for central planning, seeking to overregulate instead of innovate. If we fail to confront this regulatory imperialism now, the consequences will fall on workers worldwide whose livelihoods depend on American innovation.
