What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Donald Trump stated he supported calls from Republican politicians to restrict diesel exports from the United States. The idea of such a ban is being floated by some Republican politicians ahead of the midterm elections in November. The US currently exports about 1.3 million barrels of diesel daily, which accounts for roughly one-quarter of its refining output.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The potential ban on US diesel exports is viewed by an energy analyst as a significant development in global fuel markets. Current average diesel prices in the US already exceed $US6.50 a gallon, leading to warnings of price spikes and potential rationing in Australia.

Amid global oil trade disruptions and geopolitical shifts, the potential for major fuel market interventions has increased.
