Trump says he would back a ban on US diesel exports as national prices top $6.50 a gallon
Trump's support for a potential US diesel export ban, amid record domestic diesel prices and election-driven pressure, raises policy uncertainty for refined product flows. With the US exporting ~1.3mbpd (nearly a quarter of output), any restriction could tighten supply for importing allies while loosening the domestic balance, increasing volatility across crude-refining margins and energy benchmarks. Middle East disruptions and reduced Russian refining amplify sensitivity.
