Why it matters
The administration is monitoring diesel price changes using AAA data to track their effect on agricultural profitability. Rollins emphasized that while the G7 action is a short-term fix, the president's push for energy independence addresses long-term issues. The national average diesel price was $6.37 as of Friday, compared to $3.70 in 2025.
