What happened
President Donald Trump is reportedly poised to suspend restrictions on a type of diesel fuel that is currently exempt from taxes, a move intended to deliver temporary pricing relief. Separately, an executive order was signed allowing anyone to purchase tax-free red-dyed diesel in an attempt to reduce diesel costs.
