特朗普在大岛集会签署柴油行政令：暂允农用"红柴油"上路、缓征联邦消费税
特朗普总统 10 月 6 日在内布拉斯加州大岛市的集会上签署行政令，为在公路上临时使用"红染料柴油"开绿灯，并暂缓征收相应的联邦消费税，以在繁忙的秋季收获季为卡车司机和农民纾困。
内布拉斯加州州长吉姆·皮伦对总统的行动表示感谢，称这是对州政府此前努力的延伸。9 月下旬，皮伦已签署两项州行政令：一是提高运输季节性农产品和牲畜的卡车载重上限，二是授权在农业作业中使用红染料柴油，并对使用清洁柴油的农业作业提供州税退税。皮伦表示，农业是内布拉斯加的龙头产业，很高兴特朗普总统选择在该州签署这项命令。
柴油价格高企正挤压着中西部农民的利润空间，从田间作业到农产品和牲畜运输的每个环节都受到影响。联邦层面的税收暂缓与州政策叠加，有望在收获季为农民带来实质性的成本缓解。
Trump Signs Diesel Order at Grand Island Rally: Red-Dyed Diesel Temporarily Cleared for Roads, Federal Excise Tax Deferred
President Donald Trump signed an executive order at a rally in Grand Island, Nebraska, on October 6, giving a green light to the temporary use of red-dyed diesel on public roads and deferring the corresponding federal excise tax, to provide relief to truckers and farmers during the busy fall harvest season.
Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen thanked the president for the action, calling it an extension of the state's own efforts. In late September, Pillen had already signed two state executive orders: one raising weight limits for trucks hauling seasonal agricultural products and livestock, and another authorizing the use of red-dyed diesel in agricultural operations along with a state tax rebate for agricultural operations using clear diesel. Pillen said agriculture is Nebraska's leading industry and that he was pleased the president chose his state to sign the order.
High diesel prices are squeezing profit margins for Midwestern farmers, affecting every link from fieldwork to the transport of crops and livestock. The federal tax deferral layered on top of state policies is expected to bring real cost relief during harvest season.
