Trump to set new fuel economy standards and undo Biden-era policy

President Donald Trump said on Saturday night he plans to scrap former President Joe Biden’s fuel economy standards meant to incentivize electric vehicle adoption, framing it as a “BIG DAY” for both workers and consumers.

“I have just approved new Fuel Economy Standards that TERMINATE Sleepy Joe Biden and [former Transportation Secretary] Pete Boot-Edge-Edge’s ridiculous EV Mandate,” he said. “The Dumocrats cost our Great Auto Manufacturers $Billions, forced Americans into cars they never wanted, and wasted Billions on Chargers that were never built.”
