On July 9, 2021, he took his most specific and comprehensive action on the subject yet, issuing an Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy (the Order). 1 A newly created White House Competition Council will oversee what is described as a “whole-of-government approach” that involves over a dozen federal agencies collaborating to carry out the Order’s 72 initiatives.
