President Donald Trump phoned EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler last week and told him to go ahead and announce the small refiner exemptions (SREs) for the 2018 compliance year, according to a report from Reuters.
The news service said Trump told Wheeler he had “had enough” of the situation and gave Wheeler the “green light” to announce EPA was granting 31 SREs for the 2018 compliance year, siding with refiners.
This will keep the matter a focal point ahead, particularly for Trump as he seeks another term in the White House.
