WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The top U.S. environmental official said Tuesday that she is uncertain if the Obama administration will reach a settlement with Volkswagen (DE:VOWG_p) AG by an April 21 court deadline to address excess emissions in 580,000 diesel vehicles.
"We are in discussions with Volkswagen," EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy told reporters at a breakfast, saying there were "really robust" ongoing talks. She declined to say if the administration would accept a partial fix of the polluting vehicles.
