Trump proposes halting US diesel exports to Europe, fearing price spikes

RTL Nieuws24 September · 12:131 hour ago

US President Donald Trump plans a 90-day suspension of diesel exports to Europe to lower domestic fuel costs and protect Republican electoral prospects. Experts warn this could raise European diesel prices from $200 to $350 per barrel due to reduced supply. Critics argue the ban may backfire for the US by causing production cuts and higher inflation, while officials like Energy Minister Chris Wright have reportedly protested the idea.
