This decision comes after Congress voted to repeal California&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-weighs-californias-power-to-ban-gas-cars\/\" title=\"Supreme Court weighs ...s power to ban gas cars\">vehicle emissions regulations<\/a>. Trump is also expected to sign additional resolutions aimed at blocking California from reducing tailpipe emissions and addressing nitrogen oxide pollution from trucks. <\/p>\n<p>During his presidency, Trump has worked against California&#8217;s efforts to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/oil-gas-industry-to-fight-stricter-environmental-bills-in-colorado-legislature\/\" title=\"Oil and gas industry opposes ... environmental bills in Colorado legislature\">impose stricter environmental standards<\/a>, which had been authorized by the Biden administration&#8217;s EPA, allowing the state to mandate that 80% of new vehicles sold be electric by 2035.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has vowed to challenge this action in court,characterizing it as a continuation of Trump&#8217;s antagonism towards the state.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump to sign ban on California&rsquo;s vehicle emissions rules<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2145937\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> is set to sign a measure on Thursday morning preventing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">California <\/a>from banning the sale of gas-powered vehicles by 2035, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/white-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">White House<\/a> official confirmed to the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>He is also expected to sign two other resolutions blocking California from curbing tailpipe emissions in some vehicles and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >smog-forming nitrogen oxide pollution<\/a> from trucks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3439106\/trumps-vances-wow-black-tie-fashion-kennedy-center\/\">&lsquo;Class is back&rsquo;: Trumps and Vances wow in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/class-is-back-trumps-and-vances-wow-in-black-tie-fashion-on-kennedy-center-red-carpet-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"\u2018Class is back\u2019: ...s and Vances wow in black-tie fashion on Kennedy Center red carpet - Washington Examiner\">black-tie fashion<\/a> on Kennedy Center red carpet<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3438405\/trump-dismisses-cast-boycotts-les-miserables-kennedy-center-visit\/\">Trump dismisses cast boycotts of Les Mis&eacute;rables during Kennedy Center visit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/3438873\/kennedy-center-trump-protesters-response-the-show-must-go-on\/\">Kennedy Center responds to Trump protesters: &#8216;The show must go on&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Trump will ban California&rsquo;s first-in-the-nation emissions standards after Congress greenlit their repeal under the Congressional Review Act. The Senate voted late last month to block the regulations, roughly three weeks after the House voted to overturn them in early May.<\/p>\n<p>Under former President <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Joe Biden<\/a>&lsquo;s tenure, the Environmental Protection Agency granted California a waiver to mandate that 80% of new cars sold be electric vehicles by 2035. The Golden State faces some of the worst pollution in the country.<\/p>\n<p>As a long-time proponent of fossil fuels, Trump has tried to reverse the Golden State&rsquo;s aggressive efforts to limit the use of gas-powered cars. Trump has repeatedly expressed his desire to spur the export of American energy.<\/p>\n<p>Several of Trump&rsquo;s Cabinet members are expected at the Thursday ceremony, including Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the signing, several automakers and related advocacy groups championed the rescinding of California&rsquo;s rules on vehicles and trucks, which are stricter than the federal standard.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We thank President Trump, EPA Administrator Zeldin, and congressional leadership for taking decisive action to end crippling, detached-from-reality rulemakings that would have imposed devastating economic consequences on American businesses and families,&rdquo; said Chris Spear, president and CEO of the American Trucking Associations, in a statement. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We appreciate the actions taken by President Trump to sign H.J. Res. 88 into law and help align emissions standards with today&rsquo;s market realities,&rdquo; General Motors said in a statement. &ldquo;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.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Gov. <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gavin-newsom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Gavin Newsom<\/a> (D-CA) has vowed to fight back in court against the rescinding of the regulations.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If it&rsquo;s a day ending in Y, it&rsquo;s another day of Trump&rsquo;s war on California,&rdquo; Newsom spokesman Daniel Villasenor told the <em>Associated Press<\/em> in an email. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re fighting back.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/energy-and-environment\/3438459\/trump-epa-repeal-biden-power-plant-emission-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"TRUMP EPA MOVES TO REVOKE BIDEN POWER PLANT EMISSION RULES\">TRUMP EPA MOVES TO REVOKE BIDEN POWER PLANT EMISSION RULES<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Thursday signing also comes amid Trump&rsquo;s feud with Newsom over <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/los-angeles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Los Angeles<\/a> protests against immigration officials and the federal government&rsquo;s deployment of the National Guard to quell the violence.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom dared Trump&rsquo;s border czar, Tom Homan, to arrest him as the standoff intensified.
