Trump backs diesel export ban to lower record US fuel prices

theguardian.com — September 22, 2026 at 09:01 PM UTC

Donald Trump said Tuesday he supports banning US diesel exports to address record-high energy costs, as average diesel prices hit $6.53 per gallon, over 75% higher than a year ago. The proposal comes amid supply disruptions from wars in Iran and Ukraine, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent saying officials are examining whether a full or partial ban is feasible. Some Republican Senate candidates back the measure, but the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers trade group warns it would backfire by reducing domestic production of both diesel and gasoline. Trump made the remarks before meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, saying they would discuss Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries and a potential solution to end the war.
