US EditionTrump signs measure blocking California's ban on new sales of gas-powered cars
- On June 12, 2025, President Donald Trump signed three congressional resolutions at the White House, blocking California’s ban on selling new gas-powered cars by 2035 and revoking EPA waivers for state emissions rules.
- This action followed Congress’ May 22 passage of joint resolutions via the Congressional Review Act, despite findings that the waivers cannot legally be rescinded this way.
- California and 10 other states immediately announced a lawsuit to preserve their stricter vehicle pollution standards, arguing the federal move is unlawful and harmful to public health.
- Together, the state and its co-signing states account for roughly one in eight Americans and about 11 percent of new vehicle purchases, with California projecting that its regulation will annually avert close to 1,300 deaths related to cardiopulmonary conditions.
- The resolutions gained support from the auto and oil industries and trucking groups, labeled as a win for consumer choice and economic balance but criticized by California leaders for worsening air quality.
