Trump has endorsed a ban on diesel exports as fuel prices hit record highs, with the U.S. administration considering the measure to address soaring energy costs.
Trump, speaking ahead of a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said he has called for a ban on diesel exports, stating that the U.S. produces a significant amount of diesel and should not export it.
The administration is examining the feasibility of a diesel export ban, with concerns raised about potential impacts on fuel prices and supplies for European allies.
Energy officials warn that a ban could lead to reduced supply in Europe and retaliatory measures from energy exporting countries.
