The EPA expanded renewable fuel blending obligation waivers for refiners from 900 million to 1.7 billion credits, reducing biofuel-blending cost burdens and giving refining companies a sizable incentive. The move is part of Trump's push to lower fuel prices even as he publicly criticizes Chevron and ExxonMobil over high margins.

Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and ExxonMobil have previously had assets expropriated by Venezuela, so contract sanctity is a real concern; however, if the US government takes a major control role in the new Venezuelan oil deal, it would be much harder for Venezuela to fight back, easing expropriation risk for US oil companies.
