The Big Trump Executive Order Machine Changes a Lot for Contractors

Federal News Network

Government Contracts attorney Eric Crusius joined the Federal News Network on an episode of its Federal Drive with Tom Temin podcast discussing significant regulatory changes for federal contractors following the Trump Administration's executive orders. These orders, which reverse many of the Biden Administration's policies, include the rescindment of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and new compliance measures for contractors. The episode highlights the removal of the affirmative action executive order from the Johnson era and revival of certain practices from the first Trump Administration. Additionally, Mr. Crusius explores the broader implications of the "America First" policy on domestic manufacturing requirements and the resulting challenges for contractors.
