Trump also confirmed new EPA guidance on diesel emissions, tied to changes in requirements for exhaust fluid sensors.

Industry pressures: tariffs, fuel costs and the Iranian conflict
These announcements come at a time of mounting pressure on the agricultural sector in the United States. Farmers have faced rising fuel and fertilizer costs, driven in part by Trump’s global tariff policies and the ongoing war involving Iran. The conflict has disrupted flows of oil and natural gas, the main inputs for fertilizer production, while also driving up gasoline and diesel prices. Industry groups have warned that these pressures are exacerbating existing financial challenges in farming communities.Throughout the event, Trump positioned his administration as uniquely supportive of American agriculture. “We love the American farmer,” he said, while also criticizing environmentalists as “terrorists” in comments tied to the regulatory changes.
