A lasting compromise between warring oil and biofuel interests has eluded President Trump.
Global disputes over trade and nuclear weapons have consumed plenty of President Trump’s time and attention -- but a narrow domestic clash over U.S. biofuel policy may be giving those issues competition.
Trump joked to people at one recent White House meeting on the topic that he had spent more time on ethanol than on both China and Iran, according to people familiar with the matter. The people asked not to be identified describing a private meeting. “Even back when we were in the White House talking about E15,” Grassley said, “it just seemed like he could never get to the bottom of the ethanol issue or he couldn’t satisfy both Big Oil and the farmers, and he was trying to do that.”
