Trump scraps Biden's fuel-economy standards

SUMMARY

President Trump has reversed Joe Biden's fuel-economy standards, claiming it will lower new car prices. He announced the changes in the Oval Office alongside CEOs from major automakers, emphasizing affordability and job protection.

Critics argue this rollback aggravates climate change and increases fuel costs, calling it a major setback for environmental progress. The new proposal aims for a fleetwide average of 34.5 miles per gallon by 2031, matching current mileage figures. Activists warn that the rollback undermines the shift towards electric vehicles, potentially harming the auto industry in the long run.
