President Joe Biden has announced the strictest regulation on vehicle exhaust emissions ever introduced in the US in a bid to accelerate the auto industry's shift to electric cars.
The new measure increasingly limits year by year the amount of pollution permitted from vehicle exhausts. Car-makers that do not meet the new standards will face stiff fines. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced last year he was delaying the British ban by five years from its original deadline of 2030.
But the rules are expected to face legal challenges from the oil industry and Republican-led states. It could ultimately be settled by the Supreme Court.As he runs for re-election against his Republican challenger, Donald Trump, the president is trying to win over car workers in the potentially pivotal state of Michigan, while also taking steps to address climate change, a key issue for many Democrats.
