Washington will sue Trump for blocking states' clean vehicle standards

Washington will take the Trump Administration to court over its decision to block California and other states from setting vehicle emission standards more stringent than those of the federal government.

The administration acted after California infuriated the 45th president. It negotiated standards with four automakers just as Trump's Environmental Protection Agency was rolling back requirements set under the Obama Administration.

"We will file a lawsuit challenging this unlawful action," Attorney General Bob Ferguson, who has beaten the administration in court 21 times, said in a statement.

"If the Trump administration has its way, Washingtonians will be left with fewer options for cleaner, more efficient cars that get more gas mileage or use no gas at all. This means driving would cost more and pollute more."
