The Trump administration is reversing federal fuel economy standards for new vehicles. This policy change shifts focus away from efforts to increase fuel efficiency and promote electric vehicle usage. The decision favors gasoline-powered vehicles amid ongoing oil price hikes driven by the war in Iran.
Amna Nawaz discussed the implications of these changes with David Shepardson from Reuters. The conversation explored how the reversal impacts environmental goals and the auto industry.
