President Trump announced the changes, claiming they will lower vehicle prices by allowing manufacturers greater flexibility in meeting efficiency targets. Critics argue the rollback of stricter Obama-era rules could undermine long-term environmental progress. The decision comes amid ongoing debates over balancing affordability with climate policy in the automotive industry.
