Summary
President Trump signed an executive order on Monday in Nebraska temporarily easing restrictions on tax-exempt red-dyed diesel, normally restricted to off-road and farm use, allowing broader access amid high diesel prices and deferring excise taxes. The order waives the off-road requirement so the fuel can be used in nonfarm vehicles. Experts say the move will have limited impact on costs for farmers and truckers.
