Senator Grassley tweets Trump’s support for biofuels

In Washington, policymaking via Twitter continues as Senator Chuck Grassley reported in a tweet that he’d had a phone call with President Trump who assured him that he is pro-ethanol and will live up to campaign promises made in Iowa. The Senator has been critical of the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed blending mandate for 2018 for not being supportive enough of advanced biofuels but is happy the proposal continues to support conventional biofuels. The comment period on the EPA proposal closes Thursday.
