"Fuel Efficiency: 'We're In Favor Of Keeping The Standard' — Ford CEO"

"Ford Motor Co. CEO Jim Hackett this week signaled his opposition to the Trump administration's rollback of Obama-era clean car rules.

Speaking Wednesday to the Midwestern Governors Association in Columbus, Ohio, Hackett acknowledged chanting, sign-waving environmentalists outside the meeting and aligned himself with their cause.

"There's a group of people out there protesting today, the governor and I, about CO2 standards," Hackett said, according to a recording.

He added, "Ford is leading in this regard. ... We're in favor of keeping the standard, not a rollback. We have plans to meet it.""
