The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is the United States government agency responsible for developing and recommending United States trade policy to the president of the United States, conducting trade negotiations at bilateral and multilateral levels, and coordinating trade policy within the government through the interagency Trade Policy Staff Committee (TPSC) and Trade Policy Review Group (TPRG). Established as the Office of the Special Trade Representative (STR) under the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, the USTR is part of the Executive Office of the President. With over 200 employees, the USTR has offices in Geneva, Switzerland, and Brussels, Belgium. The current U.S. trade representative is Robert E. Lighthizer, who was announced by then-President-elect Donald Trump on January 3, 2017. Lighthizer was confirmed by the Senate on May 11, 2017, by a vote of 82–14.

Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) är ett amerikanskt rådgivningsorgan inom USA:s presidentkansli och som står till förfogande till USA:s president när denne behöver rådgivning vid regeringsbeslut rörande ekonomiska frågor både nationellt- och internationellt. Den som var senast ordförande var Jason Furman.CEA bildades 20 februari 1946 i och med att den federala lagen Employment Act of 1946 trädde kraft efter att USA:s kongress bland annat tyckte att presidenten borde ha mer permanenta rådgivningsmöjligheter när denne ska ta regeringsbeslut i ekonomiska frågor.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is an agency of the United States government responsible for consumer protection in the financial sector. CFPB's jurisdiction includes banks, credit unions, securities firms, payday lenders, mortgage-servicing operations, foreclosure relief services, debt collectors and other financial companies operating in the United States. Since its founding, the CFPB has "engaged the 21st century" by using technology tools to monitor how financial entities used social media and algorithms to target consumers. In advancing its core consumer finance mission through enforcement and rulemaking, the CFPB has engaged with the data economy in a number of ways. The CFPB's creation was authorized by the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, whose passage in 2010 was a legislative response to the financial crisis of 2007–08 and the subsequent Great Recession. The CFPB's status as an independent agency has been subject to many challenges in court. In June 2020, the United States Supreme Court found the single-director structure removable only with-cause unconstitutional, but allowed the agency to remain in operation.
