Trump backs diesel export restrictions as US fuel prices hit record highs
🛢️ Donald Trump said he supports restricting US diesel exports as fuel prices continue to rise. However, no formal ban has been issued, and the administration is still assessing whether such a measure would be feasible and how broad it should be.
📈 Average US diesel prices have climbed to around 6.53 USD per gallon, nearly 77% higher than a year earlier. The US currently exports roughly 1.1–1.3 million barrels of diesel per day while domestic inventories remain under pressure.
⚙️ Some government officials and energy groups warn that keeping more diesel on the Gulf Coast could cause inventories there to build, forcing refiners to cut runs and reducing output of gasoline and jet fuel as well.
🌍 If restrictions are introduced, European diesel supply could tighten further, while any reduction in US prices may prove difficult to sustain if refinery utilization declines.
