US Transportation Dept cancels Biden-era vehicle emissions rule, citing support for "American energy."

The US Transportation Department, under Secretary Sean Duffy, has canceled a Biden-era rule requiring states to measure and reduce vehicle emissions on highways, arguing it supports "American energy" and removes unnecessary regulations. This decision aligns with a trend of judicial and legislative pushback against federal climate regulations, backed by a coalition of 21 states. The rule was previously challenged in court and appealed, but President Trump later withdrew support for the appeal, allowing the court's ruling against the regulation to stand.
