The Trump administration aims to stick with its current proposal on 2020 biofuel blending requirements, despite anger in Farm Country that the plan fails to compensate for the administration's expanded use of refinery waivers, according to two sources
NEW YORK - The White House will stick with its current proposal on 2020 biofuel blending requirements, despite anger in Farm Country that the plan does too little for corn growers, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
In an attempt to appease farmers who believe waivers undercut ethanol consumption, the Trump administration has since been trying to find a way to preserve demand for biofuels while still protecting small refineries. The oil industry disagrees with the claim that the waivers destroy demand. "EPA has reviewed all comments received during the comment period from the public and we plan to finalise the rule this winter," EPA spokesman Michael Abboud said.Support across key Midwestern states helped propel Trump to the presidency in 2016, a trend he is hoping to replicate in next year's election. But farmers have threatened to withdraw support because of his administration's handling of biofuel policy.
