Democrat Pete Buttigieg has publicly criticized the Trump administration's rollback of fuel-economy standards, according to NPR. The former transportation secretary argued the move weakens efficiency rules that cut fuel costs for drivers and reduce emissions. The critique adds to ongoing political disputes over auto industry regulation, with manufacturers and environmental groups watching closely as emission and mileage requirements are loosened.
Why now: The Trump administration's rollback of fuel-economy rules is a live policy fight, and a prominent Democrat's criticism is drawing attention.
