Trump to disallow any ban of petrol cars if elected
The Straits Times|October 05, 2024
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Oct 3 that if he is elected in November, no state will be able to ban petrol-powered cars or trucks, as he seeks to make the future of the auto industry a key campaign issue.

Trump is looking to win votes in Michigan, a key swing state in the 2024 presidential election that is home to the Detroit Three automakers. He told Reuters in August he is considering ending the electric vehicle (EV) tax credit.

"When I am president, no state in America will be permitted to ban gas-powered cars or trucks, and I guarantee it - no way," Trump said at a rally in Saginaw, Michigan. “You are going to make them right here.”

Vice-President Kamala Harris' campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Taking Pulse Of The Roar

In 2021, the \"Unleash The Roar!\" (UTR) project was launched to transform Singapore football. The collaboration between the Government and the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) came on the back of a goal outlined by the sports body, which then set the Lions' sights on qualifying for the 2034 World Cup. Over three years into its launch, and with the countdown clock ticking, The Sunday Times talks to football officials, players and the community about the project's progress. How close are the Lions to achieving this ambitious goal, or does UTR's mission extend beyond World Cup qualification?
