The Hill: Iowa farmers and lawmakers are pushing back after President Donald Trump reneged on a promise to review a national program that gives waivers to small refineries that don’t add ethanol to their gasoline. Rep. Cindy Axne, D-Iowa, has requested an EPA Office of Inspector General investigation of the program and whether it violates renewable fuel laws, but at a news conference in Iowa on Wednesday, farmers directed their anger more at Trump than the EPA.
