The Trump Administration and a Republican-led Congress ushers in a new era that will no doubt affect the FDA in terms of leadership, how regulations will be enforced, or if the rules will be scaled back or scrapped entirely.
It has been just one year since Dr. Robert Califf became the chief of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but the agency is no doubt in for a post-election shakeup.
Between a Trump presidency and a pro-business Congress, the next few years might bring about deregulation, and with it the end of numerous consumer protections.

Hunter is asking Trump to consider repealing or suspending the rule or at a minimum move the filing deadline for new products back two years, from August 8, 2018, to August 8, 2020.
Trump has previously expressed intent to overhaul FDA programs that govern farm and food production, and Congress could cut the agency’s budget, making it difficult or even impossible to fund programs to prevent food-borne infections, prevent misleading food labels, and keep unsafe additives out of the food supply.
However, the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act cannot be altered with an executive order, and President Trump may undoubtedly find out that there are limits to what he can really do.
