President Trump has made it clear that he is not a fan of what he considers to be needless government rules and regulations. Just hold the president’s infrastructure contrivance,where the White House hopes to crop back on so-called unnecessary red tape that can sometimes hinder the start of new initiatives, or the many environmental and financial rules that the administration has targeted.

It found that at least a dozen important safety rules covering cars, trains, and airplanes,commercial buses, trucks, or more have been rolled back or sidelined under President Trump’s orders.
