Promises Made, Promises Kept: President Trump Signs Resolutions to Save Our Cars

WASHINGTON DC (6/12/25)– This morning, President Trump signed into law three resolutions revoking the national electric vehicle mandates from California on gas-powered cars and trucks, big rigs, and engines.

American Energy Alliance President Thomas Pyle issued the following statement:

“Thank you to President Trump and House and Senate members who voted in favor of these resolutions. Revoking the waiver has never been just about cars – it’s been about preserving American freedoms. Consumer choice in the auto market and the freedom of mobility are cornerstones of America’s growth and vitality. This is and will be one of the most significant achievements for President Trump and this Congress, led by Speaker Johnson and Majority Leader Thune.

“National policy should not be dictated by individual states or unelected bureaucrats; it was unconscionable that the previous administration ever allowed such a thing to happen. With President Trump’s signature this morning, he finally put an end to Biden/Newsom-era attempts to take away Americans’ transportation freedoms.” 

In May, the Senate passed House Joint Resolution 88, providing congressional disapproval of the Clean Air Act waiver for California’s regulation. That vote, along with the House vote, was included in our American Energy Scorecard.
