The Justice Department (DOJ) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) virtually co-hosted the first public meeting of the Strike Force on Unfair and Illegal Pricing (Strike Force) to discuss enforcement actions aimed at reducing prices for Americans.

DOJ Acting Associate Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer, Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter of the Antitrust Division, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian Boynton, head of the Civil Division, and FTC Chair Lina M. Khan, along with other agencies on the Strike Force, assembled to highlight recent enforcement actions.

In March, at the sixth meeting of the White House Competition Council, President Biden announced the launch of the Strike Force to strengthen interagency efforts to address illegal corporate behavior that raises prices for American families through anti-competitive, unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent business practices.
