What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

Amid record-high diesel prices, Senator Chuck Grassley called on President Donald Trump to temporarily restrict diesel exports. Grassley, who represents Iowa, urged the President to consider an embargo, citing the Nixon-era precedent regarding soybeans. On Tuesday, AAA reported that diesel averaged $6.53 a gallon, up from $3.69 a year earlier, with price spikes attributed partly to the Russia-Ukraine and Iran wars.
