Brief retelling from RIA II

The Russian President's Special Representative for Investment and Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries, Kirill Dmitriev, said that the EU's energy sector will suffer even more if the United States suspends diesel fuel exports.

The administration of US President Donald Trump is developing a plan to introduce a 90-day ban on diesel exports to reduce record energy prices.

The Russian Federation stated that the West made a serious mistake by refusing to buy hydrocarbons from Russia and would fall into a new, stronger dependence due to high prices.

MOSCOW, September 24 - RIA Novosti. The EU's energy sector will suffer even more if the United States suspends the export of diesel fuel, said the special representative of the Russian President for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, the head of the RDIF, Kirill Dmitriev.

Politico previously reported that the administration of US President Donald Trump is developing a plan to introduce a 90-day ban on diesel exports to reduce record energy prices ahead of the midterm congressional elections.

“EU bureaucrats will feel their mistakes in the energy sector even more acutely if the United States suspends diesel exports,” Dmitriev wrote on his social network page.
