Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sent a memo to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration calling for a review of fuel economy standards to align with President Donald Trump 's goals of promoting the use of oil, natural gas and biofuels.

Duffy claims that "artificially high" standards have made new cars prohibitively expensive for US buyers and could negatively impact the US auto industry.
