Trump opens tax-free 'red' diesel to all buyers

Trump expands tax-free diesel access, signaling fuel-market policy shift.

What happened: Trump signed an executive order in Grand Island, Nebraska, opening tax-free "red" dyed diesel to all buyers, removing limits on the fuel that is exempt from federal and state excise taxes. Key numbers: Trump said the typical trucker will save more than $100 per fill-up. He cited a 32-day rally blitz ahead of Nov. 3. Why it matters: Diesel prices spiked after the Iran war, rattling voters and pressuring Republicans. Trump said the order would lower goods and grocery costs, while Nebraska ranchers remain opposed to his foreign beef import plan.
