Sept. 6 (UPI) -- The Justice Department has opened an antitrust investigation into an environmental agreement between California and four major automakers, unnamed sources said Friday.
People familiar with the matter told Bloomberg and The New York Times that the Trump administration launched an inquiry into the deal with BMW, Ford Motor Company, Honda and Volkswagen of America. Under the deal, California and the four companies compromised on tailpipe emissions standards that are more stringent than what the Trump administration requires, but less so than the Obama administration.
