"Executives from top automakers were invited to attend the announcement at the White House on Wednesday."
"The Trump administration is expected on Wednesday to propose weakening automobile fuel efficiency standards that were set under President Joseph R. Biden Jr. to spur the sale of electric vehicles, according to three people familiar with the plan.
Executives from major automakers including Ford Motor, General Motors and Stellantis were invited to attend the announcement at the White House, according to the three people, who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss the event.
Details of the proposed plan, first reported by Reuters, were not immediately available. But President Trump teased the announcement during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, saying that his administration was taking steps to lower the price of gasoline-powered cars and dismantle policies that promote electric vehicles.
“We’re bringing back the automobile business,” Mr. Trump said, adding, “I think we’ll be bigger than we’ve ever been in the auto business.”"
