What happened
Donald Trump signed an executive order to expand access to tax-exempt diesel due to soaring prices. The order temporarily waives an off-road requirement for red-dyed diesel, which is exempt from highway fuel taxes. Separately, Donald Trump announced an $8 billion financial support program to offset diesel costs for farmers during the autumn harvest.
Why it matters
The executive order addresses high fuel prices that persist due to the US-led war with Iran. This action, combined with the financial support program, is intended to lower costs for farmers and voters amidst rising inflation.
The Iran war is causing oil prices to rise significantly, while inflation is prompting the Internal Revenue Service to adjust tax brackets annually.
