    Trump signs resolutions blocking California’s pro-EV rules

    It also has put Trump at odds with his onetime close adviser, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, with whom he had a very public falling out last week, though tensions between the two have since cooled. Trump had blamed the split in part on his move against electric vehicles.

    At Thursday’s news conference, Trump said of Musk: “Now we know why Elon doesn’t like me so much, which he does. Actually, he does,”

    The resolutions garnered sweeping support from automakers, while climate advocates said the announcement kneecaps climate action in the U.S. and forfeits the electric vehicle market to countries like China. Transportation makes up the largest share of emissions in the U.S., accounting for 28% of all greenhouse gas emissions.

    “The chief winners of this move are the oil industry and China,” said Michael Gerrard, the founder of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia University. “Electric vehicles are the main threat to the demand for oil, and this move further cements China as the global leader in producing electric vehicles.”

    China accounted for two-thirds of global electric car sales in 2024, a jump from 50% in 2021.

    “Instead of investing in electric vehicle manufacturing here in the U.S. and leading us towards a healthier future, the administration is dead set on pushing us backwards and ceding EV innovation and leadership to China,” said Katherine Garcia, director of the Sierra Club’s Clean Transportation for All program. “The Sierra Club will continue to fight for clean transportation solutions across the country.”

    Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin thanked Trump in a statement and said California’s waivers had limited “consumer choice for Americans in every state.”

    Automobile trade associations and automakers, many in attendance at Thursday’s press conference, widely applauded Trump’s announcement.

    “We have long advocated for one national standard that will allow us to stay competitive, continue to invest in U.S. innovation, and offer customer choice across the broadest lineup of gas-powered and electric vehicles,” said a spokesperson for General Motors in a statement to NBC News.

    Chris Spear, CEO and president of the American Trucking Association, said: “Today, common sense prevailed.”
