What happened
Lawmakers pushed for a ban on diesel exports in response to rising fuel prices. Donald Trump supported the measure, citing disruptions linked to the Iran and Ukraine wars. However, Chevron CEO Mike Wirth warned that restricting supplies to the global market could worsen the fuel crunch and undermine US energy reliability. Trump later stated the ban was not officially on the table following a G7 agreement to coordinate the release of oil reserves.
