U.S. CONSIDERING DIESEL EXPORT BAN
September 23rd, 2026Via: CNBC:
The Trump administration is looking into whether implementing a diesel export ban would ease record high prices for the critical fuel, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Tuesday.
“We’re examining whether it’s feasible in terms of the overall refining capacity and whether a full or partial ban would work,” Bessent said at a bilateral meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the United Nations.
Trump said Tuesday he’s advocated for a diesel export ban during internal administration deliberations. The president said a decision would quickly be made “one way or another” on whether to implement a ban.
