Trump Administration Moves to Weaken Fuel Economy Rules
Original: https://www. nytimes.com/2026/09/26/climate /trump-fuel-economy-car-rules.html?unlocked_article_code=1.EVE.ElVs.yVzedVA0
The New York Times reports that the Trump administration is moving to roll back fuel economy standards for cars, easing emissions and efficiency requirements for automakers. The change would reverse stricter rules adopted under previous policy and is likely to draw criticism from climate advocates and praise from the auto industry. Details of the proposal and its scope are being discussed as the story circulates.
Why now: A reported rollback of US car fuel economy standards carries major implications for climate policy and the auto industry.
