Group of 11 Republicans to confront Trump over increasing costs for refiners

President Trump meets with a group of 11 Republican senators on Thursday to discuss ways to fix the nation’s ethanol mandate to address oil refiners’ concerns that the program “isn’t working as intended,” according to the White House.

“President Trump will meet with senators today to discuss his commitment to the Renewable Fuel Standard and how to effectively address the program’s impact on independent refiners,” said White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters.
