White House denies report US is considering a diesel export ban
White House officials said the administration is considering voluntary export limits instead, while refiners warn a ban could lift gasoline and jet fuel prices.
- On Wednesday, the White House clarified that a flat diesel export ban is not under consideration, contradicting earlier signals from President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that raised alarms in Mexico.
- Record diesel prices averaging $6.52 per gallon prompted Republican leaders, including Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry and Senator Chuck Grassley, to demand export restrictions to protect farmers and truckers from surging costs.
- Energy Secretary Chris Wright and oil industry groups warned that restricting exports would force refineries to cut production, potentially raising gasoline and jet fuel prices while failing to lower diesel costs.
- Governor Landry issued an executive order Wednesday allowing farmers and timber harvesters to use tax-exempt dyed diesel in highway vehicles through October 22 to mitigate record-high fuel costs.
- Fuel costs remain a significant political liability for Republicans ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, as analysts warn that export bans could exacerbate global supply chain disruptions, particularly impacting Mexico.
