Trump ordered task forces to probe anti-competitive food practices and supply chain risks.

On December 7, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing food supply chain security task forces within the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission to investigate anti-competitive practices like price fixing that may raise food prices and threaten national security. The task forces will examine whether foreign-controlled companies contribute to higher costs and assess supply chain vulnerabilities, with authority to take enforcement actions or recommend new regulations. Agency leaders must report to Congress twice in the first two years, excluding sensitive details. The order does not create new legal rights and depends on funding and existing laws.
