US President Donald Trump said that the conflict over Ukraine and attacks on Russian oil refineries have become the main problem for the global diesel fuel market.

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright acknowledged the shortage of diesel fuel in the country, linking it to the cessation of exports from Russia and supply disruptions from the Middle East and China.

WASHINGTON, October 1 – RIA Novosti. US President Donald Trump said that the conflict over Ukraine and attacks on Russian oil refineries were the main factor that provoked tension in the global diesel fuel market.

“What happened in Russia and Ukraine (strikes on Russian refineries - ed.) really became the biggest problem for diesel,” the American leader emphasized at an event in the White House.

Speaking at the same event, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright acknowledged that the US continues to face diesel fuel shortages. According to him, the deficit is largely due to the cessation of diesel fuel exports from Russia, as well as interruptions in supplies from the Middle East and China.

On Tuesday, the average cost of diesel fuel in the United States dropped to $6.43 per gallon (about 3.8 liters) after reaching a historic high of $6.52 a week ago, according to data from the American Automobile Association (AAA), which was studied by RIA Novosti.

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