California and 22 other states sue Trump administration over emissions standards

California sued Friday to stop the Trump administration from revoking its authority to set greenhouse gas emission and fuel economy standards for cars and trucks, enlisting help from 22 other states in a battle that will shape a key component of the nation's climate policy. Federal law sets standards for how much pollution can come from cars and trucks. On Thursday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration withdrew California's waiver.
