The Trump administration is moving to allow year-round sales of gasoline with higher blends of ethanol, a boon for Iowa and other farm states that have pushed for greater sales of the corn-based fuel. The long-expected announcement is something of a reward to Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, who as Senate Judiciary Committee chairman led a contentious but successful fight to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. The veteran
Republican lawmaker is the Senate's leading ethanol proponent and has pushed for year-round sales of the high-ethanol blend. A senior administration official confirmed the change Monday on condition of
anonymity ahead of Trump's announcement.
