Long lines have formed at gas stations across Indonesia’s resort island of Bali after fuel deliveries have been disrupted by a tanker delay, bad weather and strong demand for subsidized fuel. Officials say the shortages are caused by domestic distribution bottlenecks, not a lack of fuel supplies or global market turmoil. Motorists wait hours to refuel, while some stations post signs saying fuel is unavailable. Bali Gov. I Wayan Koster said Wednesday that stocks remain sufficient but deliveries are slowed by delayed tanker arrivals and traffic congestion. State-run energy company Pertamina is dispatching additional fuel supplies as authorities work to restore normal distribution.

Iowa lawmakers are set to return to the Statehouse Friday to consider expanding state tax incentives. Officials say the change is needed to secure a $15 billion steel plant project for the state. President Donald Trump announced the plant on Monday. He called it a major economic and national security investment. The project is planned for Iowa's southeast corner, but the exact location is undisclosed. The state needs to modify its economic development program to compete for the project. While the plant promises jobs and growth, experts say it also presents risks to the local rural communities.
