Donald Trump Issues Emergency Order Allowing Immediate Sale of Lower-Cost E-15 Fuel for Farmers and Consumers

Donald Trump announced a series of measures aimed at lowering fuel costs and boosting the rural economy, including an emergency order allowing the immediate sale of E15 gasoline. Framing the move as relief for farmers and consumers, he also called on Congress to approve year-round E15 sales, saying he trusts lawmakers to deliver a workable deal for refiners and producers alike. Trump further unveiled a major update to renewable fuel standards for 2026 and 2027, pledging the highest blending volumes in U.S. history. He argued the policy would generate more than $10 billion in rural economic benefits and create around 100,000 jobs, while strengthening domestic energy supply. During his remarks, Trump sharply criticized environmental groups, blaming them for past policy constraints and calling their actions harmful to the country. The proposals signal a broader push to expand biofuels and reduce reliance on traditional gasoline.
