With the Las Vegas shooting dominating national news, and the awkward personal drama between President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson captivating Washington, it was easy to miss just how much policy unfolded in the past week. On the diplomatic front, Trump kicked out 15 Cuban diplomats, a response to the strange attack on American personnel in the American Embassy in Havana. And on Friday, a trio of agencies issued new rules that roll back Obamacare's birth control mandate.

But there was more: Across government, agencies continued to undo Barack Obama’s legacy and usher in a new era of conservative policy, including a big regulatory shift from the Treasury Department and a new tough-on-crime announcement from the Department of Justice. Here’s how Trump changed American policy this week:

1. Treasury keeps one Obama-era tax rule—and targets many others

In 2016, Barack Obama’s Treasury Department issued a rule to crack down on corporations that shift their headquarters overseas to avoid American taxes. The move provoked an outcry from Republicans who said Obama was unfairly punishing companies for Washington’s failure to reform the tax code—but it largely worked. The drugmaker Pfizer even abandoned a $160-billion acquisition that would have let it make the largest such shift ever.

After Trump won the presidential election, many tax experts predicted he would roll back the rule—which specifically targeted corporate inversions, a kind of merger in which companies are “taken over” by smaller firms headquartered in low-tax countries like Ireland. But this week, Treasury announced that it wasn’t going to repeal the anti-inversion rule after all. With the administration still pushing hard for tax reform to lower corporate rates and bring company revenue back into the U.S., the agency said repealing the rule now “could make existing problems worse.”

But the White House does plan to scrap a set of other Obama rules. The inversion news was just one part of an 11-page report issued by the agency recommending changes or rollbacks of a number of arcane Obama-era tax rules, many designed to crack down on tax avoidance schemes. Critics didn’t deny that such schemes existed but said the Obama administration’s solutions were vague and unworkable. For instance, one yet-to-be-finalized regulation, which Treasury now intends to withdraw, was intended to stop families from undervaluing their businesses to avoid the estate tax. Another rule relates to the definition of a political subdivision. The report itself does not actually change policy; Treasury will still have to go through a full rule-making process to modify or repeal any regulations. But it’s clear what direction Treasury intends to go.

2. DOJ revives a Bush-era approach to violent crime

In 2001, the Department of Justice created a program to reduce gun violence by focusing resources on violent crime and forging better ties with local law enforcement. The program, known as Project Safe Neighborhoods, became a lower priority under Obama, as violent crime hit record lows and prosecutors focused on white-collar crime in the aftermath of the financial crisis.

But on Thursday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced he was reinvigorating Project Safe Neighborhood, requiring every U.S. Attorney to implement an “enhanced violent crime reduction program” and improve ties with local police. Sessions called Project Safe Neighborhoods, which was generally considered a success at reducing violent crime, the “centerpiece of our crime reduction strategy.” Critics previously said the program unfairly targeted poorer communities, leaving too many young African-Americans with long prison sentences or criminal records for minor crimes—although reaction this week to Sessions’ announcement was limited.

3. DOJ shifts its legal position on transgender discrimination

In December 2014, Attorney General Eric Holder issued a memo ordering DOJ prosecutors to consider discrimination based on gender identity a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964—a huge victory for the LGBT community, especially transgender people.

One critic at the time was Jeff Sessions, then a senator from Alabama. On Wednesday, Sessions reversed Holder’s memo. Holder had declared that sex discrimination—outlawed under the Civil Rights Act—should be construed to include gender-identity cases; Sessions walked that back with a memo stating that “sex discrimination encompasses discrimination between men and women but does not encompass discrimination based on gender identity per se, including transgender status.” In other words, the DOJ no longer considers discrimination against transgender people to violate the law.

4. FDA promises a new Nutrition Facts Panel—in 2020.

Former first lady Michele Obama made healthy living her top priority, including creating the “Let’s Move” campaign to promote exercise. Perhaps no policy change was more important to her than the redesign of the Nutrition Facts Panel, the label you see on most food in stores, which she announced to great fanfare in May 2016. The label was to include information on “added sugars” for the first time, provoking a sharp response from the sugar industry.

The Food and Drug Administration—the agency actually responsible for the redesign—set an initial date of July 26, 2018 for manufacturers to add the new label to food but new FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb indefinitely delayed the rule in June. This week, the agency finally revealed how long the delay will last: Another year and a half. The FDA published a rule in the Federal Register on Monday proposing to delay the compliance date until January 1, 2020, an effort to give food companies more time. While the news is a logistical win for many food producers, the FDA has shown no signs of modifying the redesign. So while it will take longer to hit stores, the Obama-era Nutrition Facts Panel still appears to be coming.

5. Trump is renegotiating another trade agreement

In recent months, Trump’s war of words with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has intensified and Pyongyang has conducted additional nuclear tests, raising fears of another war on the Korean Peninsula. For all those worries—and the supposed need to show a united front with our allies in the region—Trump hasn’t exactly played nice with South Korea. Instead, he has railed against South Korea’s trade policies—even threatening to withdraw from the U.S.-Korea free trade agreement—known as KORUS—if South Korea didn’t agree to renegotiate it.

This week, Trump got his wish when the South Korean government announced it would seek to amend the 5-year-old pact. As with the ongoing renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, the upcoming renegotiation of KORUS will be a technical process and take months, if not longer, to complete. In the meantime, the news is a victory for Trump—and an opportunity to draw closer to South Korea as North Korea’s nuclear program continues to advance.
