The Trump administration has taken steps to weaken federal regulations on vehicle emissions, including rolling back fuel economy standards and repealing EPA rules aimed at reducing greenhouse gases.

Critics question whether the shift aligns with long-term climate goals or prioritizes economic flexibility over environmental protections.
