- White House issues fact sheet on EPA regulatory relief proclamation for chemical manufacturers — The White House issued a fact sheet on July 13, 2026, announcing that President Trump signed a proclamation granting two years of regulatory relief from EPA standards for chemical manufacturers producing semiconductors, medical devices, and defense materials. The proclamation allows covered facilities to comply with pre-Biden EPA standards instead of current regulations. The fact sheet states the exemptions are justified on grounds of national security and economic viability, claiming Biden-era emissions standards impose "costly and unattainable" compliance requirements.
