The Trump administration has decided to reverse previous policies aimed at improving fuel efficiency for new vehicles. This change reduces the push for increased electric vehicle usage, favoring gasoline-powered cars instead.

The alteration comes at a time when oil prices are affected by ongoing conflicts in Iran.

Amna Nawaz from PBS News Hour discussed these developments with David Shepardson of Reuters.

Amna Nawaz serves as co-anchor and co-managing editor of PBS News Hour.
