As President Donald Trump crisscrosses the country to rally support for Republican candidates, he is touting his economic agenda and crediting tariffs with economic growth — including what he says are more vehicle manufacturing plants all over the country. “Our car industry is coming back. They’re leaving Canada, they’re leaving Mexico, they’re leaving Japan and Germany, South Korea. We’re building car plants,” Trump said. His numbers are off.

China has launched an anti-dumping investigation into imports of p-nitrotoluene, a chemical compound used in dyes and pharmaceuticals, from the European Union, as trade tensions between the two sides grow. The Commerce Ministry said in a statement on Saturday the probe was initiated after a complaint from China’s domestic industry. Trade tensions between the EU and China have grown in recent months, with both sides imposing or considering curbs on each other’s imports. EU measures are aimed at slowing down the inflow of electric vehicles and fast fashion from China, among other products.

President Donald Trump is trying to rally voters in the Dayton, Ohio, area on Saturday. But days ago, 1,400 workers were laid off from a truck factory there. The November midterms are a test for the working-class coalition that lifted Trump into the White House and gave Republicans control of Congress. The outcome will be decided in places like Dayton. It lost factories to Mexico, though has been on the rebound recently. But voters are concerned about the high cost of living and say Trump's policies aren't helping them. Trump has scoffed at concerns about affordability, and has said the only thing hurting his party is bad public relations.

A group of environmental organizations sued the Trump administration on Friday over its recent relaxation of key vehicle fuel economy rules, a move the group says will make vehicles less efficient, contributing to more pollution and increasing gas consumption. On Monday, the Trump administration lowered Corporate Average Fuel Economy, or CAFE, standards that set out how far new vehicles need to travel on a gallon of gasoline. The news came as the Trump administration continues to belabor negotiations with Iran over reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

The Trump administration on Monday plans to release new fuel economy standards that would relax regulatory requirements for automakers to control pollution from gasoline-powered cars and light trucks. President Donald Trump claimed on his Truth Social media account Saturday that the less stringent mileage requirements would save Americans thousands of dollars on a new car. Last December, highway safety regulators projected that the new standards would set the industry fleetwide average for light-duty vehicles at roughly 34.5 miles per gallon in the 2031 model year, down from a projected 50.4 miles per gallon in 2031 under rules put in place by the Biden administration.

Major Chinese auto group Geely has unveiled new ultrafast EV charging technology that can recharge a battery from 10% to 70% in just 4.5 minutes. This development is seen as significant for the company, as it joins BYD and CATL in the race for EV charging speeds within several minutes. Experts say these advancements aim to eliminate drivers' range anxiety by narrowing the gap between EV charging and conventional 5-minute refueling times. However, some analysts also caution that battery durability and charging infrastructure remain key challenges to the large-scale adoption of such ultrafast charging technologies.
