Hours after the Obama administration on Monday announced plans to boost the amount of corn-based ethanol in the U.S. gasoline supply, Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz denounced the move during a stop in eastern Iowa.

“God has blessed America with abundant natural resources and we ought to be producing everything … but it shouldn’t be Washington picking winners and losers,” Cruz told reporters following a town hall stop in Bettendorf.

In the past, Cruz has classified the government's longtime support for ethanol as “corporate welfare” and a threat to free markets.

“I would love to see ethanol expand its market share … and removing government barriers is critical to doing that,” he added.
