WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Trump administration on Friday said it was working to identify laws in U.S. states that “significantly and adversely affect the national economy or interstate economic activity,” according to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice.

The DOJ will conduct the effort along with the White House’s National Economic Council, it said, adding that it was also soliciting public comments for possible solutions.
