On Feb. 21, 2019, the White House announced it has formally stop negotiating with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) over its rollback of auto emissions regulations. This ultimately means that the battle will now move to the courtroom, pitting the State of California and the Trump Administration against one other. California, along with several other states that have adopted its rules, is already involved in a lawsuit with the U.S. Environment Protection Agency (EPA) over its decision to roll back the standards last year. That suit is still pending. California has also indicated it will challenge the Trump administration's final rule in court as well.
