GM, TOYOTA, and FCA are now on the same side as Trump

The US President is determined to prevent California and other states from enforcing stricter environmental standards by limiting the level of pollutant emissions from vehicles that can be sold in his region. To this end, Trump passed a federal law in September that would prevent states that are most concerned with air quality from encouraging the use of cleaner and even zero-emission vehicles.
According to Auto News, to respond to this attack by the President, California and 22 other states responded with a court counterattack, where a judge granted them the authority to enforce their own environmental rules, prompting a government response. , who appealed to the court of appeal to try to enforce his will. If this dispute between Trump and the states that are most sensitive to environmental problems is not new or surprising, the same is not true of companies that have decided to go public to support Donald Trump.
In addition to the National Automobile Dealers Association, the American dealership association was amazed that Toyota, Hyundai, General Motors, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Mazda, Nissan, Kia and Subaru were side by side with the US President, which is because most of them are particularly active in the environment in Europe, China and Japan, where they are required by the legislator to comply.
On the California side and the contesting states are the Volkswagen, Ford, Honda and BMW brands, which agree with the goals set in 2012 by President Obama, which was 46.7 miles per gallon (about 5.03 l / 100 km). in 2026.
