Trampova administracija olakšala je ekološko pravilo o korporativnoj emisiji izduvnih gasova, doneto u vreme vladavine Baraka Obame.
Great news! American families will now be able to buy safer, more affordable, and environmentally friendly cars with our new SAFE VEHICLES RULE. Get rid of those old, unsafe clunkers. Build better and safer American cars and create American jobs. Buy American!

To pravilo predviđalo je da se ukupna emisija izduvnih gasova na nivou jednog proizvođača smanjuje za pet odsto godišnje do 2025. godine.
My Administration is helping U.S. auto workers by replacing the failed Obama Emissions Rule. Impossible to satisfy its Green New Deal Standard; Lots of unnecessary and expensive penalties to car buyers!

Prema novom pravilu, smanjenje emisije na nivou kompanije sada će biti 1,5 odsto do 2026. godine.
My proposal to the politically correct Automobile Companies would lower the average price of a car to consumers by more than $3500, while at the same time making the cars substantially safer. Engines would run smoother. Positive impact on the environment! Foolish executives!

Tramp je naveo na Tviteru kako će to značiti da će cene novih automobila biti za 3.500 dolara niže u proseku, te da će Amerikanci moći da voze novije i bezbednije automobile.
Trenutna prosečna starost automobila u SAD je 12 godina.
