President Donald Trump signed an executive order that aimed to bring down the rising fuel costs in the country, according to NBC News. The government allowed anyone to buy the ‘red dye’ diesel with a tax-exemption. The move came with mid-term elections scheduled to be held in November as Trump makes efforts to please his supporters who were highly upset with the sky-high diesel prices.
“Tonight I’m going to sign a historic executive order to officially waive the off-road requirement and allow anyone to purchase tax-free red dye diesel for any reason,” Trump said at a rally in Nebraska after he told the audience he didn’t “know what the hell” red dye diesel is.
