Trump to ease red diesel tax exemptions to counter high fuel prices
Dagens IndustriLO·US·about 23 hours ago
The Trump administration has lifted restrictions on the purchase of agricultural diesel, opening the market to all Americans. This policy shift may affect fuel supply and pricing dynamics, though details on implementation and impact remain unclear. The move signals a deregulatory stance in the energy sector.
President Trump is actively linking rising US fuel prices, particularly diesel, to Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries and domestic refinery issues. He is preparing an executive order to lower diesel prices and has discussed with President Zelensky halting Ukrainian refinery strikes. Concurrently, Trump is proposing and implementing measures to expand access to tax-free or tax-exempt diesel.
