Exclusive — American Chemistry Council’s Chris Jahn on Cutting Onerous Regulations: ‘Real Opportunity to Strengthen American Manufacturing’
Exclusive — American Chemistry Council’s Chris Jahn on Cutting Onerous Regulations: ‘Real Opportunity to Strengthen American Manufacturing’

American Chemistry Council President and CEO Chris Jahn cheered the Trump administration’s work to repeal onerous regulations, stating that doing so helps American manufacturing and keeps the U.S. competitive on the global stage.
Eli Nachmany, the head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), spoke at the American Chemistry Council’s conference about the Trump administration’s work to repeal onerous regulations. OIRA is the government’s central authority for reviewing Executive Branch regulations.
Nachmany stated that the Trump administration has worked to repeal 10 regulations for every rule they have implemented. He emphasized that they have experienced such drastic success that they have removed closer to 128 rules for every new rule.
Nachmany stated that the Trump administration is slated to repeal roughly $1 trillion in regulations next year. He added that “elections are not parochial” and that they have consequences.

He emphasized that the Trump administration is working to ensure that its work becomes legally durable. The OIRA head said that they are working to “reverse engineer” legal attacks against their work, including lawsuits using the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) against their work.
Jahn said in a written statement to Breitbart News in reaction to Nachmany’s commentary at the American Chemistry Council:
Keeping America competitive starts with getting policy right. For the chemical industry, that means a regulatory system that is grounded in sound science, transparent, and predictable so companies can invest, innovate, and expand here in the United States. There is real opportunity to strengthen American manufacturing by removing unnecessary barriers, especially regulations that are not based on sound science or that create uncertainty and delay. Companies can operate under strong standards, but they need clarity and timely decisions.
We don’t have to choose between protecting the environment and growing our economy. Through Responsible Care®, a mandatory condition of ACC membership, our member companies are continuously improving environmental, health, safety, and security performance. It’s one of the reasons ACC members are safer and cleaner.
David Fotouhi, the deputy administrator of the EPA, said that his agency is working to streamline permitting reform and setting “clear rules of the road” on implantation of the Clean Air Act. He added that they are working to make it easier to start actual construction and clearing backlogs that have been left over by the Biden administration.
Fotouhi said that they will continue the development of critical baseload power.
“You don’t need to choose between economic growth and the environment,” Fotouhi said.
Jahn concluded in his statement to Breitbart News, “With the right policies in place, we can continue to lead globally — advancing solutions that protect human health and the environment while creating jobs and driving investment here at home. At the end of the day, this is about ensuring America remains the best place in the world to manufacture, to innovate, and to compete. American competitiveness will be determined by whether we align policy with innovation. We have everything we need to lead. Now it’s about execution. Because when chemistry creates, America competes — and America wins.”
Ecuador Files Complaint Over Noisy Mexico Fans Before World Cup Clash
Ecuador Files Complaint Over Noisy Mexico Fans Before World Cup Clash

Ecuador is crying foul before their World Cup knockout stage match against Mexico has even begun.
On Monday night, an estimated crowd of 1,000 Mexican fans congregated outside the hotel housing their Ecuadorian opponents in Santa Fe, near Mexico City, and regaled their foe with a boisterous display of loud music and incessant chanting, to ensure their opponents did not get a pleasant night’s sleep.
This did not sit well with Ecuador’s Football Federation (FEF), which, on Tuesday, filed a formal complaint with FIFA World Cup organizers.
“This conduct is far removed from the principles of fair play, equality, and unity that a football World Cup should represent,” the FEF said in a statement.
The statement called on authorities to pay greater attention to such incidents and protect Ecuador’s players, coaching staff, and fans.
“We trust that these unsporting acts will not tarnish the football celebration that unites two brotherly countries,” the FEF said, adding that Ecuador would “always respond on the pitch.”
Mexico takes on Ecuador at Estadio Azteca on Tuesday.
