President Donald Trump has signed a resolution to block California's regulations aimed at banning the sale of new gasoline-powered passenger vehicles by 2035. This action, which dismantles a federal waiver previously granted to California, highlights a significant political and legal conflict, with California officials vowing to challenge the decision. Trump's administration argues that the state rules restrict consumer choice, while environmental groups and Democratic leaders warn this rollback will exacerbate pollution and health issues, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing debate over environmental regulation and states' rights.
Trump’s action revokes California’s waiver, blocking its regulations on new gasoline vehicles, igniting a legal battle over states’ rights in environmental policy.
Trump's move is framed as a rescue of the U.S. auto industry, claiming California's rules limited consumer choice and set a broad national standard.
