What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A coalition of NATO and Middle Eastern partners was formed to help ensure the Strait of Hormuz and International Waterway remain open for commerce, according to Mike Johnson. Separately, President Donald Trump signed an executive order waiving the federal tax on red dyed off-road diesel fuel. Supporters of the order suggested the tax cut could reduce diesel prices by nearly 60 cents a gallon when combined with potential state reductions.
