11:24Now PlayingTrump wants you to pay for a lot more gasoline. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, and Michael Tracey, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you why Trump’s rolling back fuel efficiency standards. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“President Donald Trump on Wednesday ordered a review of tough U.S. vehicle fuel-efficiency standards put in place by the Obama administration, handing a victory to auto industry executives and provoking criticism from Democrats and environmental groups.
In a move widely seen as a preamble to loosening fuel standards, Trump told an audience of cheering union workers, he would "ensure that any regulations we have protect and defend your jobs, your factories," and promised he would encourage growth in the U.S. auto sector.
"The assault on the American auto industry is over," Trump said, standing in front of a banner that read "Buy American-Hire American."
Trump added that the White House is "setting up a task force in every federal agency to identify and remove any regulation that undermines American auto production."
The backdrop and message underscored Trump's efforts to lock down support in industrial states such as Michigan that put him in the White House. Trump spoke at the site of the former Willow Run bomber factory in Ypsilanti, Michigan, which won fame for building an operational B-24 heavy bomber every 59 minutes during World War Two. Now, the site is being redeveloped as a testing ground for autonomous vehicles.”
