WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order promising to eliminate what he incorrectly labels “the electric vehicle mandate” imposed under former President Joe Biden. His order on Monday is consistent with pledges Trump made on the campaign trail to end what he calls a “preposterous” focus on EVs by Biden and other Democrats.

Stellantis will move forward on plan to build new midsize truck in Illinois
Chrysler parent Stellantis is moving forward with plans to build a new midsize pickup truck in Belvidere, Illinois, the company said on Wednesday, ending months of conflict with the United Auto Workers union over delays, and strengthening its U.S. production footprint as President Donald Trump takes office. Stellantis in 2023 agreed to build a new $3.2 billion battery plant and invest $1.5 billion in Belvidere to build new midsize trucks by 2027, but delayed the plans in August. The Italian-American automaker told employees that it would stick with these investment plans on Wednesday in a memo seen by Reuters.
