Trump stops California's gasoline car sales ban

tagesschau.de (German)

President Trump has blocked California's plan to phase out gasoline-powered car sales by 2035, a move that will likely have significant environmental and economic consequences. The decision, finalized with Trump's signature, halts California's initiative to transition to electric vehicles. This action follows Republican efforts in Congress to overturn the state's regulations, escalating tensions with California's governor. California, which has set its own stricter emissions standards since the 1970s, is now challenging the decision in court. The move could also impact Tesla's revenue from carbon credit sales.
