President Trump said Tuesday he is considering restricting diesel exports to curb rising fuel prices, an idea gaining Republican support ahead of midterm elections. He stated he has asked his team not to sell diesel abroad. Trump made the remarks to reporters during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the UN General Assembly in New York. He indicated a decision could come "quickly" on the potential export ban, which several Republicans have backed. The proposal comes amid soaring fuel costs, with the administration seeking measures to address price pressures. The move would mark a significant shift in US energy policy, potentially affecting global diesel supplies.
