AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoRussian Diesel Deal: President Trump’s agreement to ease sanctions and bring Russian diesel to U.S. markets marks a sharp policy reversal.

At least 16 trucking companies filed for bankruptcy in less than a month. Gulf Oil: Hurricane Isaias shut in 71% of U.S. Gulf oil production, adding another supply risk. Household Bills: Trump is considering suspending the federal gas tax, while North Carolina has suspended its state tax through Nov. 30.
