"Trump's Fiery Iowa Speech Targets DeSantis' Ethanol Stance"

Former President Donald Trump criticized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for his previous opposition to the Renewable Fuel Standard and support for efforts to eliminate it, highlighting their differences on ethanol policy. Trump's remarks come as he launched a "Farmers for Trump" coalition, touting his support for access to new markets for ethanol and promising to reverse the Biden administration's policies on Day 1. However, Trump's own record on biofuels during his time in office was mixed, with actions such as issuing waivers benefiting oil refineries and slashing demand for biofuels. Iowa voters, who see ethanol policy as a key issue, have shown openness to candidates with nuanced positions on the Renewable Fuel Standard.
