Trump airs taxpayer-funded ads as administration cuts fuel economy standards
Original: Trump airs more taxpayer-funded ads, Trump administration to lower fuel economy standards
The Trump administration is moving to lower US fuel economy standards while continuing to run taxpayer-funded advertising. The twin developments, reported by AP News, tie together public spending on political messaging with a regulatory rollback on vehicle efficiency requirements, drawing criticism over the use of public money and the environmental impact of weaker emissions rules.
Why now: A combination of government-funded political advertising and a rollback of fuel efficiency rules is drawing attention to how the administration spends public money and shapes environmental policy.
