贸易协会表示，对染色柴油的税收减免将难以实施，且对燃油可用性的提升作用有限。
The trade associations said tax relief on dyed diesel would be complicated to implement and do little to increase availability of the fuel.
美国最大的卡车运输团体周二表示，总统唐纳德特朗普旨在缓解柴油价格的行政令，对这种关键运输燃料的可用性作用有限。
The nation’s largest trucking groups said Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at easing diesel prices would do little to increase availability of the key transportation fuel.
代表主要卡车公司和独立卡车司机的团体发表的声明——这些团体通常是特朗普的亲密盟友——对特朗普周一的声称提出了质疑，即该举措将为卡车司机节省数百美元，并帮助降低整个经济中商品的成本。柴油的高昂价格——平均每加仑6.31美元，比去年同期高出约2.64美元——正在拖累共和党在下个月的选举。
The statements from groups representing both major trucking companies and independent truckers — typically close Trump allies — cast doubt on the president’s claims Monday that the move would save truckers hundreds of dollars and help bring down the cost of goods across the economy. The high cost of diesel — averaging $6.31 a gallon, or about $2.64 higher than last year — is dragging on Republicans going into next month’s elections.
特朗普在周一位于内布拉斯加州的一次竞选活动上签署了这项旨在扩大对染色柴油访问权限的行政令，染色柴油通常仅限于非公路使用。该命令要求财务部在5天之内推迟执行联邦汽油税，适用于公路使用染色柴油，不含利息和罚款，直到年底。
Trump signed the order — aimed at expanding access to tax-exempt dyed diesel typically limited to off-road use — during a campaign stop Monday in Nebraska, where farmers and truckers have particularly felt the pinch of record diesel prices. The order directs the Treasury Department to within five days defer payment of the federal excise tax connected to on-road use of dyed diesel fuel without interest or penalties through the end of the year.
尽管农民们普遍已经可以使用染色柴油，但这项命令仍获得了一些来自农业州议员和少数农业团体的赞扬。
The order drew some praise mostly from agriculture-state lawmakers and a few farm groups, even though farmers largely already had access to dyed diesel.
