GM, Toyota, Stellantis Back New Bill To Weaken Fuel Economy Rules
Briefly

President Trump's auto industry policies are seen as self-contradictory and potentially harmful to American manufacturing jobs. While automakers are thriving and EV sales increase under previous policies, Trump's administration introduces tariffs and seeks to weaken EPA emissions standards, claiming a desire to revitalize the industry. Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio has proposed the Transportation Freedom Act, promoting tax deductions for auto workers while aiming to reduce vehicle prices. However, this initiative is viewed as counterproductive regarding environmental progress, as automakers push against legislation that could hinder their recent successes.
On one hand, automakers are selling a record number of EVs. Driverless taxis are growing in popularity. Meanwhile, Republican senators are pushing legislation to reverse progress.
Republican Senator Bernie Moreno's bill aims to provide a 'historic investment in American auto workers' but critiques emphasize it complicates the path to cleaner energy.
