WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed a resolution on Thursday that blocks California’s first-in-the-nation rule banning the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. The move is expected to become the state's latest legal challenge with the federal government. The resolution was approved by Congress last month and aims to quash the country’s most aggressive attempt to phase out gas-powered cars.
