President Trump has expressed support for a ban on U.S. diesel exports to address high fuel prices that are negatively impacting American agriculture and trucking. Speaking during a Tuesday press interview alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump confirmed he has called for the restriction, aligning with calls from some Republican lawmakers and other conservative voices.
The proposed policy marks a shift for the administration, which had previously resisted measures to restrict fuel exports. The consideration of the export ban comes as record diesel prices continue to create a crunch for key domestic sectors dependent on the fuel.
