TRUMP ANTI-REGULATION - Rolling Back Fuel Efficiency Standards

"Why Trump wants to relax automotive fuel efficiency standards now" PBS NewsHour 3/30/2020

Answer:  1) He has always been anti-regulation.  2) He is worried about 2020 and needs more money form Big-Auto and Big-Oil to buy election.

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  The Trump administration wants to roll back another federal regulation intended to reduce global warming.  Obama-era automobile fuel efficiency rules require U.S. vehicles to increase mileage standards by an average of 5 percent per year from 2021 through 2026.  Tuesday’s move would reduce the improvement threshold to 1.5 percent.  The Washington Post’s Juliet Eilperin joins John Yang to discuss.
