President Trump signed an executive order on Monday aimed to crack down on ticket scalping and resale practices, alongside rock star Kid Rock.
The order will direct the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice to enforce laws, in collaboration with state attorneys general, to prevent entertainers and fans from being overcharged and price gouged by reselling practices.
Kid Rock, wearing a red, white and blue outfit, spoke to reporters in the Oval Office to talk about the importance of the order. The rock star has been a supporter of the president, and he performed at the Republican National Convention in July.
