We were in a trade war with China, which was hurting farmers - which could eventually cause their bankruptcy and loss of US ability to produce our own food for consumption (think energy independence as it’s a parallel concept). It also was a move to further US energy independence as we produce more sources of fuel domestically. The EPA was opposed because of “ozone emissions.” Imagine that. The EPA has our best interests in mind just like FDA and CDC. This was about US independence and pushing back against global and corporate corrupt interests. The news says things like “increased ethanol in gas could damage older engines.” They are really worried about our old cars. Sure. Fake news, real wars.
