Trump Blocks California’s EV Program.. Sparks Major Legal Battle

US President Donald Trump has signed resolutions reversing California’s plan to phase out gas-powered cars by 2035, immediately igniting a legal battle with the state.

Trump described the state’s bid as “a disaster for this country” and said the resolutions he was signing would save the industry from “destruction”.
