Trump says he will “revoke the electric vehicle mandate”

Newly sworn-in President Donald Trump in his inaugural address highlighted several executive actions he said will take, including rolling back clean energy initiatives.

“With my actions today, we will end the Green New Deal and we will revoke the electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto industry and keeping my sacred pledge to my great American auto workers,” Trump said to applause. “In other words, you’ll be able to buy the car of your choice. We will build automobiles in America again at a rate that nobody could have dreamt possible just a few years ago.”

He went on to thank auto workers for their “inspiring vote of confidence.”

“We did tremendously with their vote,” he added.
