Donald Trump promises to stop states banning gas-powered cars and trucks as he makes auto industry pitch to crucial Michigan voters

Former President Donald Trump promised Thursday that no state would be allowed to ban gas-powered cars if he is elected in November.

He delivered the pledge during a rally in Saginaw, Michigan, an area that once produced components for Detroit’s auto industry but has fallen on hard times with the decline of American manufacturing.

The 78-year-old Republican nominee is seeking to wrest the state back from Democrats and made a series of car-friendly promises to an audience of thousands in a cavernous university sports hall.

‘When I am president no state will be permitted to ban gas powered cars—and I guarantee it,’ he said to cheers of approval.

He notably steered clear of his latest legal woes, a federal filing that reveals new evidence of what prosecutors said were his ‘increasingly desperate’ attempts to cling to power after losing the 2020 election.
