Houthi attacks also disrupted Riyadh airport, with hundreds of flights cancelled and aircraft damaged. Truck Fuel: The Trump administration temporarily let US truckers use off-road dyed diesel as pump prices climbed above $6 a gallon. Nigeria separately announced a 30-day petrol discount, prioritizing public transport operators.
