NEW: EPA finalizes proposal to lift limits on amount of ethanol in gasoline, saying it will expand the market for biofuels.
Gasoline that contains a higher percentage of ethanol should be available to drivers around the country this summer, the Trump administration announced Friday.
Trump said he would ask for the change at a campaign rally last March, months before the midterm elections. Expanding ethanol is seen as a way to boost markets for corn produced in Midwestern states and benefit political candidates that support expanded ethanol production. "At the end of the day from an environmental standpoint this doesn't make any significant difference," he told reporters Friday.
