Trump rolls back fuel economy standards for cars
Original: Trump rolls back fuel economy standards for cars, breaking with 50 years of policy
The Trump administration is rolling back federal fuel economy standards for cars, breaking with roughly five decades of policy aimed at reducing gasoline consumption. The move weakens efficiency requirements for automakers, with supporters framing it as relief for the car industry and critics warning it will increase emissions, fuel costs and US oil use.
Why now: A major environmental and economic policy reversal by the US administration is drawing wide attention.
