Trump Says He Supports Banning Diesel Exports to Bring Down Prices
Business2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported43m ago
President Donald Trump has endorsed a proposed ban on United States diesel exports in an effort to combat soaring domestic fuel prices. The announcement comes as diesel prices have reached record highs nearly every day this month, driven by the ongoing war in Iran, with the national average reaching $6.52 a gallon on Tuesday according to AAA data.
The surging costs have intensified calls to restrict the export of the fuel to increase domestic supply and lower prices for consumers. However, the proposal faces pushback from the oil industry, which argues that implementing a ban on U.S. diesel exports would fail to make the fuel any cheaper.
