Gov. Kim Reynolds says she is taking President Donald Trump at his word that he will uphold an agreement made with farm-state lawmakers and agriculture groups to maintain the ethanol requirements in current law.

However, an EPA rule released last week did not include the agreed upon language to guarantee the required 15 billion gallons of ethanol each year is blended into the nation's fuel supply.
