唐纳德·特朗普总统正在扩大免税柴油的使用范围，同时承诺迅速结束与伊朗的战争，这间接表明其政府已难以有效遏制这场战争带来的经济影响。
President Donald Trump is expanding access to tax-exempt diesel while simultaneously pledging a swift end to the Iran war, an implicit acknowledgment that his administration is running out of ways to significantly stem the conflict’s economic fallout.
“战争很快就会结束，物价也将大幅下降，”特朗普周一晚在内布拉斯加州的集会上说道。他在会上签署了有关所谓红色染色柴油的行政命令。“说不定有人会说：‘求您了，价格降得太快了。’”随后，他再次承诺：如果共和党在中期选举中获胜，每位美国人都将获得5000美元；他还警告称，若民主党胜出，美国南部将出现类似1929年的经济大萧条。
“It’ll end very quickly, and prices are going to come down very sharply,” Trump said at the Nebraska rally Monday night, where he signed the executive order on so-called red-dyed diesel. “You might say, ‘Please, please, sir, it’s going down too fast.’”Later, he again promised to pay every American $5,000 if Republicans come out ahead in the midterms, warning of a “1929 South economic depression” if Democrats win.
目前共和党人对发放补贴的提议态度冷淡；尽管特朗普承诺结束战争，但其政府仍未找到解决冲突的有效途径。——埃莉诺·穆勒
