The US government is considering a diesel export ban to combat rising fuel prices, President Donald Trump announced at the UN General Assembly in New York. The move could impact European supply. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said officials are studying the feasibility of a full or partial export halt. The US has been Europe's second-largest diesel supplier after the Middle East, following Russia's reduced role since its invasion of Ukraine. Fuel prices have surged amid the Iran war, with gasoline up nearly 50 percent and diesel at record highs. Republicans facing November congressional elections, including Senate candidate Mike Rogers, are pressuring Trump to act.
