Mike Rogers on Trump Waiving Russia Sanctions: I Worry ‘About the Optics of It’ But I Understand the Motives, Try to Get Diesel Prices Back Down

RUSH EXCERPT:
ROGERS: "No, I don‘t believe that. I think what he‘s trying to do is get prices down and still deal with an Iranian regime that wants to get back to having a nuclear weapon. And I think that just adds complexity to the geopolitical stage. And it looks to me like the president‘s trying to do something to bring down diesel prices. And again, I want diesel prices down, which is why I‘ve called for a temporary diesel export ban here in the United States, a rebate for agricultural diesel use, which I‘D have to do when I get elected, and I will. And so I‘ve tried to come I do worry about the optics of it. I wonder what his motives are and his motives are. Try to get prices back down on diesel. Diesel is hurting us. You know, September and October are the two biggest harvest months for Michigan, the second most diverse crop in the country comes out of Michigan. Most people don‘t know that. And so these are two really critical months for us and the costs for our farmers to get out there and get the crops out of the field because of the price of diesel is, is not great. And it‘s really hard on a family who‘s showing up at the grocery store wondering why prices haven‘t come down."
