President Donald J. Trump has revoked Executive Order 14036, which was issued on July 9, 2021, and focused on promoting competition in the American economy. The new order was signed at the White House on August 13, 2025.
The revocation states: "Executive Order 14036 of July 9, 2021 (Promoting Competition in the American Economy), is hereby revoked."
Additional provisions clarify that the new order does not affect existing legal authorities of executive departments or agencies or the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget regarding budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals. It also specifies that implementation must follow applicable law and depend on available appropriations.
The order further notes: "This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person." The Department of Justice will cover publication costs for this order.
