Germany Seeks EU Flexibility on 2035 ICE Ban

Germany's leader, Friedrich Merz, wants the EU to change its rule that stops selling new cars with engines that pollute by 2035.

He thinks this rule is too strict and wants some cars, like plug-in hybrids, to be allowed.

Germany also wants to help people buy electric cars by giving them money.

Some groups are upset because they think this will make things harder for car companies.

The EU is going to talk about this soon.
