On the same day that Europe re-elected Ursula von der Leyen and she confirmed that Europe's commitment to a total ban on internal combustion engine cars after 2035 remains, the candidate for US President Donald Trump outlined completely different priorities:
„I will save the US auto industry". Trump has promised a real turnaround from what incumbent Biden has done, drawing the starkest contrast imaginable with the direction of the European Union.
“I will end America's commitment to electric cars on my first day as president,” Trump erupted from the stage in Wisconsin, repeating repeatedly how the move was absolutely necessary to “save the U.S. auto industry from total destruction. and save the average consumer thousands of dollars when buying a car."
