The White House is preparing a plan to ban U.S. diesel exports for 90 days, APA reports citing Politico.
The potential emergency measure is being pushed by President Donald Trump in an effort to curb sky-high domestic fuel prices ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
On September 22, 2026, Trump confirmed his support for the concept, stating on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly that he has instructed his administration to "not send out the diesel".
