President Donald Trump on Aug. 18 verbally committed to speaking to the U.S. EPA regarding the Renewable Fuel Standard and small refinery exemptions (SREs) during a visit to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to participate in a disaster recovery briefing on the derecho windstorm that devastated a large swath of the state. During the briefing, Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, explained the impact of the historic derecho, which produced hurricane-force winds that flattened crops and caused severe property damage to a section of the state that measures hundreds of miles long and averages 40 to 60 miles wide.
