Trump again warns of a U.S. diesel export ban amid rising prices
President Donald Trump reiterated his threat to halt diesel exports to curb soaring domestic costs, prompting concern among foreign buyers.
Trump warned that the United States could block diesel shipments if domestic prices keep climbing. The move would affect nations that rely heavily on U.S. diesel, such as Mexico, which imports most of its supply, and European markets. Analysts cautioned that an export ban could worsen global inflation and create new political risks for countries dependent on American energy.
