特朗普任命联邦贸易委员会委员安德鲁·弗格森担任该机构主席
dent总统唐纳德·特朗普任命安德鲁·弗格森担任联邦贸易委员会主席。弗格森目前担任反垄断机构的专员。根据他的传记，他曾担任最高法院法官克拉伦斯·托马斯的书记员。
特朗普周二在其真相社交网络上发布的一份声明中表示， “安德鲁在对抗大型科技审查制度和保护我们伟大国家的言论自由方面有着良好的记录。” “安德鲁将成为我国历史上最美国第一、最支持创新的联邦贸易委员会主席。”
弗格森在宣布这一消息后发表的一份声明中表示，他很荣幸被选为该机构的领导者。
“在联邦贸易委员会，我们将结束大型科技公司对竞争和言论自由的仇恨。我们将确保美国成为世界技术领导者，也是创新者将新想法变为现实的最佳场所，”他在X上的一篇帖子中说道。
谢谢特朗普dent。在您的领导下，美国企业将变得更加tron、更具竞争力，并将比以往任何时候都更好地为工人和消费者服务。我很荣幸您选择我担任 FTC 主席，以实现让我们的国家再次伟大的使命。… pic.twitter.com/GxmYWfjpqm

Ferguson serves as one of the two Republican commissioners on the five-member panel led by Lina Khan. Ferguson, previously the solicitor general of Virginia, was appointed to the commission by President Biden and officially joined the FTC on April 2.
The future of FTC under Trump
The Federal Trade Commission is responsible for the enforcement of antitrust and consumer protection laws. Khan’s replacement is expected to mean that the FTC will be less stringent in its antitrust enforcement. The new chairman is expected to designate new directors for the FTC’s antitrust and consumer protection divisions.
Khan became a lightning rod for Wall Street and Silicon Valley by suing Amazon and Meta and blocking billions of dollars worth of corporate acquisitions, all while alleging anticompetitive behavior.
The FTC barred a proposed merger between Korger and Albertsons, two major supermarket chains that executed a $24.6 billion agreement in 2022 during Khan’s tenure.
On Tuesday, a judge put the brakes on the merger following a lawsuit from the FTC aimed at preventing the deal, arguing it would result in elevated prices and lowered wages for employees.
Donald Trump is on a streak to ensure that no money will leave American Markets, from taxes to tariffs. The mistakes Khan made with the American economy will not be repeated during his tenure.
Today, Trump has welcomed billionaire investors to America. On Truth Social, he posted that “Any person or company investing ONE BILLION DOLLARS, OR MORE, in the United States of America, will receive fully expedited approvals and permits, including, but in no way limited to, all Environmental approvals. GET READY TO ROCK!!!”
To that, Elon Musk said, “This is awesome.”
Lina Khan, the current leader of the FTC, has managed billions of dollars in dismissed corporate acquisitions, provoking the displeasure of Wall Street.
Trump focuses on trade in his MAGA agenda
Ferguson’s experience could lead to more scrutiny of huge tech corporations. In a statement earlier this month, he urged for the prosecution of “unlawful collision” between web platforms that might hinder “Americans’ ability to exchange ideas freely and openly.”
Trump’s reelection has sparked concerns about how his administration will handle ongoing antitrust cases against internet giants such as Apple and Amazon. Google is also awaiting a ruling on whether a federal judge would accept the US government’s suggestion that it be forced to sell Chrome after its search operation was ruled a monopoly.
The new administration may also decide to dismiss any ongoing FTC investigations.
Last week on X, Ferguson praised Trump’s selection of Gail Slater to head the Justice Department’s antitrust division, noting that Trump highlighted her commitment to pursuing legal action against major tech platforms for purported competition violations.
While Trump was expected to replace Khan, certain Republicans, including those tapped to join the Trump administration, have been dubbed “Khanservatives” because they advocate for stricter, not weaker, antitrust enforcement.
In February, Vice President-elect JD Vance said that Khan is “one of the few people in the Biden administration who I think is doing a pretty good job.”
Deep into trade, Trump also said he is selecting Mark Meador as his pick to be an FTC commissioner.
“Mark has also worked as an antitrust enforcer at both the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice Antitrust Division, and in private practice at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP,” Trump said in the post.
