As the Diesel Emits: EPA Official Voices Concern About Volkswagen and U.S. Government Reaching A Deal

Volkswagen has already missed one deadline set by U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer on reaching a deal with the U.S. Government over the diesel emission scandal. Breyer has given them a second deadline of April 21st. Now the administrator of the EPA worries they could miss the second one.

Speaking to reporters at a breakfast, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said she has concerns about the two groups being able to reach a deal before the deadline.

"I wouldn't take any single signal as the direction of those negotiations or where any final agreement - if we reach one - will end up," said McCarthy.

If an agreement isn't reached by April 21st, Breyer has said he would consider bringing this to trial over the summer.
