WASHINGTON — The Trump administration took the first step Monday toward rolling back national emissions standards on new cars and trucks, setting up a major conflict with California, which intends to stick to tougher rules to cut the biggest source of greenhouse gas pollution. The Environmental Protection Agency issued a “final determination” that the current rules, established by President Barack Obama’s administration in concert with California in 2009, are “too high” for model years 2022 to 2025. The standard calls for all new vehicles sold in the U.S. to meet a fleet average of more than 50 miles per gallon by 2025.
