Scoop: Trump officials are weighing alternatives to imposing a ban on diesel exports to bring prices for the fuel down from record highs ā including passing the issue down to the state level
Among the evolving set of options under consideration by Trump officials are measures to boost distribution of ādyed diesel,ā a red-colored diesel used in agriculture and for other off-road vehicles that is exempt from state and federal taxes.
The White House would also encourage more states to temporarily eliminate their state-level excise taxes on diesel ahead of the midterms. Some GOP guvs have already done so.
No decisions have been made. But internal talks are ongoing and idea is for a diesel plan announcement by early next week.
