According to CoinMeta, as reported by Benzinga, Trump stated that he is still considering restricting diesel exports from the United States in order to address the pressure on consumers due to record-high fuel prices. Diesel prices have reached a historic high of $6.53 per gallon, exacerbated by supply disruptions related to the wars with Iran and Ukraine. Trump pointed out that restricting exports could lower domestic diesel prices, but it might lead to higher gasoline prices, as American refineries produce diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel simultaneously. Energy Secretary Chris Wright opposes this approach, arguing that a complete ban could result in refineries being unable to export excess diesel, which would then fill up storage facilities and force them to reduce crude oil processing, potentially decreasing the production of gasoline and jet fuel. U.S. diesel inventories have dropped to 97 million barrels, about 13% below the average level for the past five seasons. The government is considering other options, including voluntary export restrictions and requesting European governments to release emergency fuel reserves.
