WASHINGTON -- The Trump administration on Monday took its first step toward tighter pollution controls on trucks.
Andrew Wheeler, head of the Environmental Protection Agency, began the legal and regulatory process for curbing highway emissions of nitrogen dioxide, which has been linked to asthma and other respiratory diseases.
While the move could give President Donald Trump a nominal environmental achievement for the 2020 campaign, public health experts say the truck regulations are not as out of line with administration deregulation policy as they would appear.
The emerging rule will likely limit nitrogen dioxide pollution more than current standards, they say, but fall far short of what is necessary to significantly prevent respiratory illness and even premature deaths.

This is not new news. A re-hash of a 2020 headline. I did not know trump was a greenie.
It is not a political issue when you are killing people slowly.
