What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has collapsed by approximately 95 percent since the Iran war began in February, severely disrupting global oil trade. In response, the US Energy Dominance Council is promoting alternative oil export corridors, naming Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as key partners. Separately, Donald Trump called for the first U.S. diesel export ban, noting that Europe is the country's largest customer.

The US administration is exploring the Defence Production Act to fast-track additional refining infrastructure as domestic capacity operates at 100 percent. Furthermore, Donald Trump's consideration of a diesel export ban could significantly impact energy prices in Europe,.
