Trump administration tells oil and biofuels groups to hash out new biofuel policy

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has asked oil and biofuels producers to hash out a deal on the next phase of the nation's biofuels policy to avoid the kind of political clashes that marked his first term, according to four people familiar with the matter. Big Oil and the Farm Belt's biofuels makers are traditional competitors for share in the multibillion-dollar U.S. gasoline market. The White House directive has already yielded at least two bilateral meetings, including one hosted last week by the American Petroleum Institute, said the sources, who include Will Hupman, API's vice president of downstream policy, and three others who asked not to be named.

Trump's pick to lead markets watchdog faces Senate amid agency tumult

(Reuters) -Paul Atkins, a former Wall Street regulator whom President Donald Trump has tapped to run the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, is set to testify at a Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday at a time of major change at the agency and across the federal workforce. Jonathan Gould, Trump's nominee to supervise the largest U.S. banks as comptroller of the currency, is also set to appear, along with Luke Pettit and Marcus Molinaro, Trump's picks for senior roles at the Treasury and Transportation departments, respectively. In prepared remarks released Wednesday, Atkins avoided addressing White House efforts to slash the SEC's workforce as part of broader government cuts, instead pledging to deliver regulation that would benefit the crypto industry and prevent "overly politicized" regulations from stifling free enterprise.
