Washington D.C., April 8, 2025 – The United States Trade Representative (USTR) has stressed the need to secure better market access for U.S. fuel ethanol in countries like India and Thailand, amid discussions around new trade tariffs proposed by former President Donald Trump. The USTR highlighted that these nations offer strong growth prospects for American ethanol exports, aligning with their clean energy goals.
This move is part of a wider strategy to balance potential trade disruptions and strengthen U.S. agricultural and energy sectors. Officials emphasized that increased ethanol trade can not only benefit the U.S. economy but also support global environmental commitments. Talks with Indian and Thai authorities are expected to continue to reduce trade barriers and promote cooperation.
