The President has pardoned six individuals who were imprisoned for repairing their own vehicles. According to the President, these individuals were persecuted by the current administration.
The President stated that it is a "fact" that these individuals were imprisoned for a crime as mundane as fixing their car. He claims that this is an example of the "weaponization" and "stupidity" that occurred during the previous administration.
The President recently signed an executive order that supports Americans' rights to repair their own vehicles. The order aims to reduce environmental regulatory burdens that have led to soaring vehicle costs.
The executive order also rescinds regulations concerning greenhouse gas emissions for light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles, and affirms the right to repair agricultural and non-road equipment. The President stated that his administration has taken historic action to reduce burdensome regulations and decrease rising costs for consumers.
The President believes that Americans should have the freedom to fix their own cars, calling it "really common sense." He has also signed a new memorandum to ensure that Americans have this freedom.
