Trump administration lowers US fuel economy standards

Original: The Latest: Trump administration lowers fuel economy standards

The Trump administration has lowered federal fuel economy standards for cars and light trucks, easing efficiency requirements that automakers previously had to meet. The rollback, widely reported across US news outlets, is expected to reduce vehicle costs for consumers but has drawn criticism from environmental groups who say it will increase fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The change reverses stricter standards put in place under the previous administration.

Why now: A significant federal policy rollback affecting the auto industry, consumers and emissions targets is newly announced.
