The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers — a group representing General Motors, Toyota and Volkswagen — is striving to negotiate a deal with California and the Trump administration over fuel efficiency standards. In March, President Trump ordered a review of the Obama administration's US vehicle fuel-efficiency standards from 2022 to 2025, arguing that his predecessor's approach was too harsh on the American auto industry. Both California and New York have opposed reviewing the legislation. But automakers are also pushing for more aggressive emissions rules in Europe.
