President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Friday that will significantly expand the “2-for-1” deregulatory goal he installed during his first stint in the White House.
The White House detailed the order in a memo, obtained Friday morning by the Washington Examiner, which follows through on one of Trump’s 2024 campaign promises. It requires federal agencies to “identify at least 10 existing rules, regulations, or guidance documents to be repealed” for every new proposed rule, regulation, or guidance.

The order further directs the Office of Management and Budget to set “standardized measurement and estimation of regulatory costs” and “requires that for fiscal 2025, the total incremental cost of all new regulations, including repealed regulations, be significantly less than zero.”
