Trump opens red-dyed diesel to truckers in bid to slash fuel costs
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

President Trump signed an executive order allowing truckers to use cheaper, tax-deferred red-dyed diesel on highways to slash soaring fuel costs.

A newly signed executive order officially waives the off-road requirement for red-dye diesel. This allows anyone to purchase the fuel tax-free to lower costs.

President Donald Trump is giving truckers a new way to fight pain at the pump, signing an executive order that temporarily lets them fill up with red-dyed diesel normally barred from highway use.

"They’re going to be very happy in about two seconds," Trump said during remarks in Grand Island, Nebraska, before announcing the relief.
