Trump DOJ Sues California Over Clean Truck Deal, Saying It Seeks to Undermine US Law | KQED
Briefly

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has agreed to offer manufacturers additional lead time to meet new regulatory requirements. The Department of Justice (DOJ) contends that the federal Clean Air Act preempts state vehicle emission regulations unless California receives a waiver from the Environmental Protection Agency. Recent legislative actions have invalidated California's waiver, including its plan to ban gasoline-powered cars by 2035. Environmental advocates express concern over the current administration's rollback of environmental standards, arguing it emboldens industries to ignore emissions regulations.
