New Delhi, Oct. 6 -- US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday to expand access to tax-exempt diesel.

Trump signed the order during a rally in Nebraska, saying the directive will waive the off-road requirement and allow anyone to purchase tax-free, so-called red-dye diesel that is used by the agriculture industry and by some off-road vehicles.

High diesel prices, which rose to a record of about $6.50 a gallon last month, are a risk to Trump ahead of the November 3 midterm US elections.
