Americans for Prosperity Applauds President Trump for Delivering Major Relief to American Families by Resetting Costly CAFE Standards

Dec 4, 2025 by AFP

Arlington, VA— Americans for Prosperity (AFP) commends President Donald J. Trump for taking decisive action to deliver meaningful relief to American families by resetting the Biden Administration’s costly and unnecessary Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. This critical step will help restore affordability and choice for consumers while removing regulatory burdens that have stifled innovation and economic growth.

Brent Gardner, Chief Government Affairs Officer at AFP issued the following statement:

President Trump’s leadership in rolling back these misguided mandates is a win for hardworking Americans. Policies that make cars more expensive are a drag on the economy that hurt those who can least afford it. For too long, the previous administration punished families and businesses with overreaching regulations that drove costs up and choice down. We believe this is an important step to protect consumers and workers against these ‘all pain, no gain’ government mandates.

AFP is eager to engage in the regulatory process to ensure this policy change fully reflects the principles of economic freedom and prosperity. We will work to advance solutions that empower consumers, encourage innovation, and strengthen America’s energy future.

Through broad-based grassroots outreach, Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is driving long-term solutions to the country’s biggest problems. AFP activists engage friends and neighbors on key issues and encourage them to take an active role in building a culture of mutual benefit, where people succeed by helping one another. AFP recruits and unites activists in all 50 states behind a common goal of advancing policies that will help people improve their lives. For more information, visit www.AmericansForProsperity.org
