The Biden administration has called for a halt in litigation over the Trump administration’s decision to revoke California’s ability to set its own vehicle emissions standards, according to reports.

The Hill reported that in a judicial filing on Monday, the Biden administration asked for court proceedings to be put on pause until 30 days after the administration’s review of a number of Trump-era environmental policies is completed.
