President Trump’s potential impeachment inquiry could further delay biofuels deal

In Washington, Reuters reports that President Trump’s whistleblower scandal over alleged illegal discussions with the president of Ukraine that have raised the clamor over potential impeachment may add further delays to any White House-brokered agreement between the oil and biofuels industries to break the impasse over lost gallons. The president said a “big package” was on its way to help out farmers impacted by the demand destruction resulting from the Environmental Protection Agency’s recent approval of 31 hardship waivers, but sources say there has been no movement on the issue for several days and could be put on hold indefinitely.
