US EditionTrump signs measure blocking California's ban on new sales of gas-powered cars
- On Thursday, June 12, 2025, President Donald Trump signed three congressional resolutions at the White House to block California's 2035 ban on new gas-powered car sales.
- The resolutions followed Congress' May 22 passage under the Congressional Review Act, aimed at rescinding Biden-era EPA waivers that allowed California stricter emissions rules, despite legal challenges about their applicability.
- California, together with officials from ten additional states, filed a legal challenge early Thursday aimed at maintaining current air pollution regulations. Meanwhile, Governor Newsom and leaders of the state’s air quality board condemned the federal actions as illegal and detrimental to public health.
- Trump praised the rollback as restoring regulatory balance and consumer choice, with supporters like the American Trucking Associations calling it a victory to end 'crippling, detached-from-reality' mandates that threatened economic consequences.
- The move sets up a protracted legal and political battle over California’s environmental leadership, as the state influences about 12 percent of the U.S. auto market and the broader push for zero-emission vehicles.
