The Golden State 's rules are largely the de facto benchmark nationwide, because the car manufacturers comply with different sets of vehicles to the Standards in other States. The State accounts for about 12% of all vehicle sales.

Trump and The Environment

Mr Trump, the announcement is his latest roll back Obama-era Environmental Protection move.

In June 2017, Mr trump pulled the forged US out of the Paris agreement, a climate Pact that under his predecessor, with almost 200 countries.

In December last year, under the leadership of the White house, The Interior Ministry unveiled plans to allow oil drilling on millions of acres were off-limits to protect the greater sage grouse, a in the vicinity of threatened species, the 10 States in the United States.

trump v California, again

The State of California is a huge, democratically-blue thorn in Donald Trump 's side.

Its new Governor , Gavin Newsom , was an outspoken critic of The President . His attorney general), Xavier Becerra , a fusillade of legal challenges in the White house policy. In the year 2018, California voters, by an overwhelming majority decided in favour of a democratic Congress to help the candidates to wrest control of the US house of representatives away from the Republican Party .

in California, in fact, has positioned itself as a progressive counterpoint to the trump card of conservative policy - a case study in How To do things differently than on a wide range of measures, including public health, The Environment , Migration and education.

taking Now The President -who seems every bit of criticism personally - is pushing back. Motor vehicle regulations are One of The Ways California, in itself One of The World 's largest economies, can effectively set national norms, regardless of Federal action. With this experiment, the clip of The State wing, Mr Trump in order to send a message about who is calling the shots. He also increased his criticism of California's growing homeless Problem - suggesting the progressive model has some obvious shortcomings.

California Democrats not to go without a fight, however, will surely end up in the courts. This episode is only the latest Chapter in a dispute that far more.

What is the answer?

The Governor Newsom, The President called the announcement "a failed attempt to assert power" and "continuation of a political vendetta against CA and our progress".

Mr. Becerra has already the White house has sued More Than 50 times on a variety of issues, including the proposed border wall, The Reversal of the Affordable Care Act, and other environmental Standards .

"Our message to those who support the claim, the rights of the States," do not trample on us,'" Mr Becerra said. "We can't afford, hinge in our fight against Climate Change . "

Under car manufacturer, Mr Trump the decision of a divided reaction induce could be.

As the car manufacturer had previously, the White house sat down to relax environmental regulations, some manufacturers are concerned about reports that the legal challenges expected to result from the administration of the intervention, existing Market turbulence.
