Trump in Ethanol-Friendly Iowa Pushes for Bill Boosting E15 Gasoline

President Donald Trump threw his support behind a legislative proposal that would expand sales of higher-ethanol E15 gasoline as he looked to build support for his economic record with a crowd that included farmers in Iowa.

Trump told a rally near Des Moines, Iowa, on Tuesday that he was trusting congressional leaders to get a package approved that would enable sales of E15 gasoline year-round, effectively lifting limits that bar its sale in some areas during the summer. A measure proposed in Congress would tie that change to new restrictions scaling back the number of refineries that can get exemptions from annual quotas to use biofuels.
