Truckers could begin seeing relief from high diesel prices as soon as Saturday, Chris Wright said, after President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at temporarily expanding highway access to red-dyed diesel and providing relief from certain federal diesel-tax penalties and payments.U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright joined FOX Business’ Stuart Varney on "Varney & Co." to discuss the administration’s push to bring down diesel prices as tight global supplies continue to squeeze drivers and businesses.Wright said truckers could begin seeing relief by Saturday, five days after Trump signed the order."The order was signed yesterday, and it's five days for Treasury and the Department of War to find the specific authorizations."Trump’s order directs the Treasury Department to determine within five days whether it can defer certain federal diesel excise-tax payments. It also directs the IRS to provide penalty relief for dyed diesel sold for highway use or used on highways through Dec. 31, while federal agencies work with states and industry to expand access.TRUMP OPENS RED-DYED DIESEL TO TRUCKERS IN BID TO SLASH FUEL COSTSWright pointed to disruptions abroad as a key source of the pressure, citing Russia, China and reduced flows of refined products from the Middle East."We're in a crisis right now with a shortage of diesel because of a conflict between Russia and Ukraine. China deciding not to export diesel anymore. And we still have reduced flows of refined products out of the Middle East, although they're on their way up," Wright said.KEVIN HASSETT SAYS DIESEL RESERVE RELEASE COULD HAVE ‘MASSIVE POSITIVE EFFECT’ AS G7 REACHES DEALDespite the tight market, Wright said he believes the worst of the price spike may have already passed."I think diesel prices peaked a couple weeks ago. They're down 20, 25 cents already. I suspect we see a gradual decrease in diesel prices in the coming weeks and months ahead," Wright said.CLICK HERE TO GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Starbucks sued for allegedly mislabeling ‘sugar-free’ protein drinksStarbucks is facing a proposed class-action lawsuit alleging the coffee giant misleadingly markets eight protein beverages as "Sugar-Free" despite the drinks containing naturally occurring sugar from milk.The lawsuit, filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, alleges Starbucks' "Sugar-Free" protein drinks contain between 13 and 21 grams of sugar per venti serving. The plaintiffs contend the product names violate federal regulations governing "sugar-free" labeling claims.Starbucks disputes the allegations."We believe these claims have no merit," a Starbucks spokesperson said in a statement. "Starbucks has consistently and clearly provided information about its protein beverages, sugar-free options, customization choices and nutritional content across product announcements, menus, marketing materials, Starbucks.com and the Starbucks app, and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter."CHICK-FIL-A RULES OUT AI DRIVE-THRU ORDERING AS FAST-FOOD RIVALS EMBRACE TECHNOLOGYAt the center of the dispute is the distinction between total sugar and added sugar. The plaintiffs acknowledge that Starbucks provides nutritional information showing the beverages contain sugar, but argue that using "Sugar-Free" in the product names is misleading."This case is about false and misleading product names. It is not about missing nutritional information," the complaint states.The sugar at issue is lactose naturally present in the milk used to make the beverages, according to the lawsuit. Figures cited in the complaint from Starbucks' nutrition information show venti versions contain between 13 and 21 grams of sugar.A venti Sugar-Free Caramel Protein Matcha contains 21 grams, while a Sugar-Free Vanilla Protein Matcha contains 20 grams, according to the complaint. The lawsuit includes screenshots of Starbucks' ordering pages showing those sugar amounts alongside the "Sugar-Free" product names.Starbucks has distinguished between total sugar and added sugar in descriptions of the beverages. According to the complaint, Starbucks has described the products as containing "no added sugar" while also incorporating "Sugar-Free" into their names.The plaintiffs argue that distinction does not satisfy federal requirements for a "sugar free" claim.The complaint cites Food and Drug Administration regulations that plaintiffs say permit a "sugar free" claim only when a food or beverage contains less than 0.5 grams of sugar per reference amount customarily consumed and per labeled serving, among other requirements. The plaintiffs allege Starbucks' drinks exceed that threshold because of the lactose in the milk used to make them.The lawsuit also alleges Starbucks fails to provide a calorie disclaimer that plaintiffs contend is required under FDA regulations when a "sugar free" claim is made… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
