White House denies plan for 90-day ban on diesel exports - says its ‘fake news’
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported28m ago
The White House has formally denied a media report claiming the administration is preparing a 90-day ban on diesel exports. Officials dismissed the report as 'fake news' amid ongoing public pressure over high fuel prices.
The initial report, published by Politico and citing five anonymous sources familiar with internal discussions, had suggested that legal mechanisms for the export restriction were actively being formulated. The denial directly refutes these claims, indicating no such policy is currently in preparation.
