President Donald Trump has signed a presidential memorandum aimed at strengthening Americans’ right to repair their own vehicles using aftermarket parts.
On Monday, from the Oval Office, the president noted that the directive orders federal agencies to examine ways to protect consumer choice, lower repair costs and support independent repair shops.
This memo serves as an expansion of the administration’s broader “right-to-repair” push, following a crucial regulatory shift for the agricultural sector in February. In that instance, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a formal clarification preventing equipment manufacturers from weaponizing the Clean Air Act to restrict farmers from servicing their own tractors and machinery.
Following the signing, Trump was asked about Monday’s Supreme Court ruling allowing states to count mail-in ballots that were postmarked by Election Day but arrived afterward.
He called the decision disappointing, arguing that it could increase the risk of election fraud, and said it made passage of the SAVE America Act even more important.
