    Even Mr. Trump's own EPA reported last week that climate change is happening, and it is caused by human activities........

    It has to do with the position of the kingpin. On a European trailer there can be 63 inch max. from the front of the trailer to the kingpin, in NA that is 36 inch. That is a difference of 27 inch.

    Get China and India to actually significantly lower their emissions and then we will talk. Until then I won't support crippling my nations economy in order to shoulder the burden the rest of the world creates.

    Apparently you are not aware that China is building windfarms and solar panel farms like mad. Their cities are so polluted by emissions of coal and cars/trucks, that they realize this is the only way.
