Trump weighs 90-day diesel export ban as national pump prices hit $6.52 a gallon
Reports suggest the U.S. is considering a 90-day diesel export ban or partial restrictions to curb domestic pump prices amid supply stress linked to the Strait of Hormuz disruption, though the White House disputes a full ban. Refiners and senior officials warn constraints could reduce refinery runs and distort product markets, tightening gasoline/jet supply. Policy uncertainty increases volatility across crude and refined-product-linked assets.

President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing a 90-day ban on diesel exports to ease rising diesel prices in the U.S. The national average price of diesel has climbed to $6.52 per gallon from $3.69 a year earlier, according to AAA. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and oil industry executives have opposed the idea, warning it could be extended and create unintended fallout.
