In May 2025, Trump intensified his assault on California's environmental policies by signing resolutions to overturn state laws tackling gas vehicle sales and emissions control. His actions, including federalizing the California National Guard, came amid Congressional votes against California's regulations. Despite opposition from the Senate parliamentarian and the Government Accountability Office citing illegitimacy in the actions taken under the Congressional Review Act, Trump framed the move as a rescue for the auto industry. However, critics argue this prioritizes big oil and exacerbates climate issues.
Earlier this month, Donald Trump took his war against California and its web of environmental policies to a new extreme.
In signing Congress's resolutions despite the GAO and Senate parliamentarian's concerns, Trump said he was rescuing the U.S. auto industry from destruction.
