By Lauren Boebert – October 13, 2026 U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is backing President Trump’s diesel relief actions that put Colorado families, farmers, ranchers, and truckers first. Red-Dyed Diesel Executive Order President Trump’s executive order temporarily allows tax-free red-dyed diesel for broader use and defers the federal diesel excise tax through year’s end, delivering immediate savings for producers and families. “These steps directly address affordability by putting money back in the pockets of Colorado producers and the families who rely on lower fuel and goods costs,” said Rep. Boebert. “Every dollar saved at the pump helps keep operations running and food moving.” Diesel Supply Agreements Europe / G7 Reserve Release: G7 release of 100 million barrels of oil and diesel from strategic reserves over four months to boost global supply. Russian Diesel Supply Agreement: Agreement for the supply of diesel volumes to U.S. and global markets. “I support strong pressure on Russia, but I will not sacrifice American prosperity for symbolism. Pragmatic deals that deliver for our people are how we win,” said Rep. Boebert. “Sometimes deals aren’t perfect. Russia’s actions in Ukraine are wrong, but we cannot let American families keep getting squeezed while we hold out for a flawless outcome overseas. Temporary, targeted steps securing more diesel for the market are practical ways to help people in Colorado,” said Rep. Boebert. White House Fact Sheet: President Donald J.
