President Trump Takes Decisive Action to Lower Diesel Costs for American Truckers, Farmers
Official release from The White House, not original reporting. Charges are allegations unless a conviction is stated.
Tonight, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to immediately cut diesel costs for the truckers and farmers who keep America moving. The order temporarily opens highway use of tax-free dyed diesel, deferring the federal diesel tax on that fuel through the end of the year — no interest, no penalties.
With elevated diesel prices and tightened global supply driven by the Russia-Ukraine war and a lack of refining capacity around the world, this is President Trump’s affordability agenda in action.
The federal diesel tax is 24.4 cents per gallon , or about $60 on a 250-gallon fill. Where states match this federal action, savings will top $100 per fill — a real difference for the hardworking Americans who haul the freight and grow the food.
