What happened
Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated that the Trump administration is asking diesel exporters to voluntarily reduce exports while prices are high and supplies are tight. This request is aimed at increasing U.S. diesel inventories and providing immediate relief to American buyers. Wright added that wholesale diesel prices had dropped by over 15 cents in the U.S. on Wednesday.
