President Donald Trump has reaffirmed his support for the year-round, nationwide sale of gasoline with 15 percent ethanol, increasing pressure on lawmakers to strike a deal on an issue that could have caused another government shutdown.

“In the campaign, I promised to support E15 all year round,” Trump said on Jan. 27 during a speech in Iowa, referring to fuels blended with up to 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline.
