President William McKinley did not actively pursue trust-busting during his second term due to a combination of factors, including his focus on economic stability and Imperialism, particularly following the Spanish-American War. His administration prioritized issues such as tariff reforms and foreign policy over aggressive antitrust actions. Additionally, McKinley's pro-business stance and close ties to industrial leaders made it politically challenging to take a strong stand against monopolies. His assassination in 1901 cut short any potential efforts he might have made in this area.
