The policy shift supports gasoline-powered vehicles amidst rising oil prices due to ongoing conflict in Iran.
Amna Nawaz discussed these changes with David Shepardson of Reuters. Nawaz is a co-anchor and co-managing editor of PBS News Hour, and Shepardson provided expert insights on the impact of this policy reversal.
