The Trump administration's rollback of the 'endangerment finding' effectively removes U.S. clean-car rules, potentially increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Experts predict this will make American cars less competitive globally. The decision faces legal challenges and could impact the auto industry's future.
The Trump administration plans to significantly scale back fuel-efficiency rules for new cars and light trucks, weakening efforts to reduce gasoline consumption and transition to electric vehicles. This move is expected to be finalized on Monday.
