Trump's executive order on dyed diesel will offer little relief, farmers and truckers say
Farmers, truckers, and economists say a move to cut taxes on diesel will provide little relief from record-high fuel prices. These high prices have been ongoing since the U.S. attacked Iran months ago, according to PBS NewsHour.
The issue of high fuel prices comes as the country prepares for a major hurricane to hit the U.S. Gulf Coast.
President Donald Trump's actions have raised questions about whether the administration is politicizing disaster recovery, with some moves being seen as tied to the midterm elections.
