Trump says he is rolling back Biden-era US fuel economy rules for cars

U.S. President Donald Trump announced new fuel economy standards that roll back requirements introduced under the Biden administration. He claims these changes will lower car prices and boost domestic manufacturing. Trump criticized Biden's so-called 'EV mandate,' accusing it of imposing costly regulations and pushing consumers toward electric vehicles. The revised standards aim to provide automakers with more flexibility, reversing the higher fuel efficiency targets set for 2024, which aimed for an average of 50.4 mpg by 2031.
