\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n

President Donald Trump revealed Thursday that his administration plans to unveil new support measures for American farmers during a White House gathering scheduled for Friday.<\/p>

The announcement will take place as hundreds of agricultural producers, ranchers and industry leaders visit the White House for an event focused on the farming sector.<\/p>

The timing coincides with the expected release of highly anticipated biofuel blending requirements under the Renewable Fuel Standard, a regulation that determines how much renewable fuel must be added to the country’s gasoline and diesel supplies. This policy is closely monitored by corn producers, ethanol manufacturers and petroleum refiners.<\/p>

According to sources familiar with the matter, the Trump administration plans to unveil its 2026-27 biofuel blending volume requirements this week. These sources indicated the final rule will remain largely consistent with volumes the EPA had previously proposed before the Iran conflict began.<\/p>

During a cabinet meeting Thursday, Trump told reporters that American farmers have faced unfair treatment from certain nations. He also highlighted the multi-billion-dollar assistance package farmers received to help compensate for losses caused by trade tariffs.<\/p>

The biofuel policy announcement arrives during a challenging period for both petroleum and agricultural industries, as the White House navigates competing demands from refiners concerned about fuel costs and farmers hoping for increased biofuel demand to strengthen crop markets.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
