Trump\u2019s decree during Monday\u2019s address was expected, as both he and his campaign have been vocal about rolling back\u2019s Biden\u2019s EV mandates as well as reducing federal investment in environmental, social and governance (ESG), which addresses environmental issues related to climate change.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On the very first day of his return to the White House, President Donald Trump\u00a0rolled back the mandates<\/a>\u00a0of his immediate predecessor, Joe Biden, who had previously put into place rules that would have eventually phased out gas-powered automobiles and required Americans to purchase only electric vehicles (EVs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump made the announcement during his inaugural address on Monday, stating that \u201cAmerica\u2019s war on gas\u201d <\/em>was officially over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

With my actions today, we will end the Green New Deal and we will revoke the electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto industry and keeping my sacred pledge to my great American auto workers,\u201d he said. \u201cIn other words, you’ll be able to buy the car of your choice. We will build automobiles in America again at a rate that nobody could have dreamt possible just a few years ago.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Biden Administration in March 2024 had announced strict climate regulations intended to phase out gas vehicles and mandating that the majority of cars and light trucks sold in the country by 2032 were either electric or hybrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s decree during Monday\u2019s address was expected, as both he and his campaign have been vocal about rolling back\u2019s Biden\u2019s EV mandates as well as reducing federal investment in environmental, social and governance (ESG), which addresses environmental issues related to climate change. Near the end of his first presidency, Trump came out in favor of retirement plans being banned from taking ESG-related issues into consideration when making investments on behalf of their clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Trump\u2019s incoming admin is said to be in the process of rewriting rules that would result in regulators having less power over certain industries, particularly energy and automotive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rolling back of Biden-era mandates on the part of Trump, however, will not affect legislation passed by at least eight states in 2024 \u2013 with California being the first to enact the plan, followed by others \u2013 that will ban the sale of gas vehicles within their respective borders by the 2035 model year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
