President Donald Trump is expected to announce a proposal to weaken vehicle mileage rules for the auto industry. That would ease pressure on automakers to control pollution from gasoline-powered cars and trucks. Trump is set to announce the plan later Wednesday. The proposal would significantly reduce fuel economy requirements through the 2031 model years. Those requirements set rules on how far new vehicles need to travel on a gallon of gasoline.
