TRUMP SERIOUSLY CONSIDERS U.S. DIESEL EXPORT BAN President Trump said the U.S. is “very seriously” considering restricting diesel exports, despite concerns it could push gasoline prices higher. Trump blamed current fuel pressures largely on attacks against Russian refineries.
Why now
Thesis: Policy risk to refined product flows is live
Catalyst to watch: Formal White House decision on export limits
Main risk: Ban backfires, raising US pump prices
Why it matters
A US diesel export ban would tighten global distillate supply but could raise domestic gasoline prices.

TRUMP SERIOUSLY CONSIDERS U.S. DIESEL EXPORT BAN President Trump said the U.S. is “very seriously” considering restricting diesel exports, despite concerns it could push gasoline prices higher. Trump blamed current fuel pressures largely on attacks against Russian refineries. Energy Secretary Chris Wright favors voluntary export limits instead, while Senator Ted Cruz said the White House had previously assured refiners that an outright ban would not happen.
