Trump’s Proposed Diesel Export Ban Could Backfire Enormously
President Donald Trump was asked about a potential ban on diesel exports Tuesday, something that a number of prominent Republicans have called for in recent days. Trump insisted he’s called for a diesel export ban before (which isn’t true) and that he supports one now, but Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent chimed in to say they were studying the issue. Trump made his remarks while taking questions during a meeting with Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the UN meeting in New York, where he was flanked by Bessent and other officials.

I’ve said let’s not send out the diesel. We make a lot of diesel. That could have a little bit of an effect on regular automobile gasoline, but when you do that, you know, it’s a sort of a flow, it’s a balance,” said Trump “But no, I’ve called for it, I’ve called for it within my people, I’ve been talking about it,” Trump continued, perhaps realizing that this is the first time he’s said it publicly.
