Trump to Review Fuel-Economy Rules for Automakers

The video discusses the U.S. fuel economy standards set by the Obama administration, which require cars to achieve 54.5 MPG by 2025. The Trump administration is considering a review of these standards, potentially making them less stringent. This could lead to legal challenges from environmental groups.
