American farmers, rural communities, and biofuel producers have had no greater champion than President Donald J. Trump. From expanding year-round E15 to fighting for a level playing field for our farmers globally, President Trump has worked tirelessly to advance the priorities of farm families and rural Americans.

“We won’t just increase ethanol production in our own country, we will make it our mission to export ethanol all over the world”

“A Trump Administration will increase domestic energy production across the board, streamline permitting, and end market-distorting restrictions on Oil, Natural Gas, and Coal. I will lower energy prices even below the record lows achieved during my first term. No president has ever fought harder for our farmers than I did.

I issued a rule declaring that E15 would be made available all year round. In addition, I dramatically increased the number of fueling stations where E15 could be sold across the country, by letting them use the existing pumps. I will cancel every Kamala-Biden policy that is brutalizing our farmers.

We won’t just increase ethanol production in our own country, we will make it our mission to export ethanol all over the world.”

“ETHANOL ENDORSED ME AND I’M GOING TO ENDORSE ETHANOL”

“It’s my honor to be here to endorse ethanol. Ethanol endorsed me and I’m going to endorse ethanol. I think there’s been no greater champion, if you look at what I did. I think nobody has supported ethanol better than I have, nobody’s been a bigger champion of ethanol.

I’ve been with it from the beginning, and it’s my honor to do so. It’s great stuff, and they’re great people. I went and visited your plants. Quite a few plants all over Iowa, and they’re fantastic.

Just as I promised, I also stood up for Iowa ethanol. I issued a historic rule declaring that E15 would be made available all year-round. Nobody thought that would ever be done. And letting them use existing pumps and existing equipment.

And I’ll sit down at that desk, and I’ll sign all of the things that we’re talking about tonight so I don’t waste a lot of time on Day One.”

“I pledged to support our ethanol industry and to fight for the American farmer like no President has ever fought before”

“Today, we honor America’s cherished farming heritage. We salute your commitment to American energy independence, and we celebrate the bright future that we are forging together powered by clean, affordable American ethanol.”

Under the previous administration, our leaders rejected American energy and they rejected ethanol. They imposed radical restrictions on our farmers and ethanol producers. And they refused to even allow talk of E15 during the busiest driving months of the year.”

As a candidate for President, I pledged to support our ethanol industry and to fight for the American farmer like no President has ever fought before.”

“Last year, I came right here to Iowa and announced that my administration would open up the sale of E15 all year around. And now I’ve come back to announce that, just days ago, we officially lifted the restrictions.”

“More American ethanol production also means less dependence on foreign suppliers. By fully embracing E15 we will reduce dependence on foreign oil by up to 250 million additional barrels every single year. I mean quite simply, it means more energy. And what can be wrong with that? And it’s very good energy.”
