  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to expand access to tax-exempt diesel, allowing wider purchases of red-dyed diesel for agriculture and certain off-road vehicles. The directive, announced ahead of the US midterm elections, aims to eliminate the requirement restricting tax-free diesel to off-road use and defer payment of the federal excise tax imposed for on-road use of dyed diesel. The move comes as diesel prices have surged due to conflicts in the Middle East and Russia, posing a risk to Trump's re-election campaign as his Republican Party holds a narrow majority in Congress.",
