Trump Could Cut Gas Prices by Reducing Biofuel Standards
3 articles · Updated · The Washington Post · Aug 28
Summary
An Aug. 28 opinion piece argues Donald Trump could lower pump prices on his own by cutting federal biofuel blending standards, without waiting for Congress.
The case centers on high gasoline costs hitting household budgets and potentially damaging Republicans ahead of the midterm elections.
Derrick Morgan, executive vice president of the Heritage Foundation, frames the move as a direct executive-policy lever rather than a legislative fix.
The article presents biofuel rules as a broader energy-policy pressure point that the White House could revisit to ease consumer fuel costs.
