U.S. States challenge Trump decision to revoke basis of U.S. climate regulations

The 'endangerment finding' by the EPA under the Obama administration was a foundational legal basis for federal regulations on greenhouse gas emissions, including vehicle emissions standards and power plant rules. Its revocation by the Trump administration could significantly weaken the legal framework for climate action in the U.S., potentially impacting environmental policy and international climate commitments.
