US EditionTrump is expected to sign a measure blocking California’s nation-leading vehicle emissions rules
- President Donald Trump plans to sign resolutions on Thursday blocking California's rule that bans new gas-powered car sales by 2035.
- Congress approved these resolutions last month using the Congressional Review Act to overturn state policies on tailpipe emissions and smog-forming pollutants.
- The measures will also eliminate regulations aimed at phasing out diesel trucks of various sizes and reducing nitrogen oxide emissions from these vehicles, amid ongoing tensions with California's governor.
- Chris Spear, leader of the American Trucking Associations, remarked, "This is not the United States of California," while environmental advocates described the decision as a "betrayal of democracy."
- This action may delay California's stricter emissions standards affecting 11% of the U.S. car market, while the state plans to sue to challenge the federal rollback.
