EU officials cautiously optimistic US will drop diesel export ban threat

Irish Energy Minister Darragh O'Brien says assurances received in Washington suggest 90-day ban is unlikely.

Quick Look

EU and member state officials express cautious optimism in Dublin that US President Donald Trump will drop his threat to suspend diesel exports for 90 days, following assurances received in Washington.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Trump threatened to temporarily halt diesel exports due to rising US prices driven by war in Iran and export restrictions from Moscow.

DUBLIN – Regierungsvertreter der EU und ihrer Mitgliedstaaten äußerten sich am Dienstag vorsichtig optimistisch, dass US-Präsident Donald Trump seine Drohung, Dieselexporte für 90 Tage auszusetzen, zurücknehmen werde.

Der irische Energieminister Darragh O'Brien, dessen Regierung derzeit den EU-Ratsvorsitz innehat, erklärte gegenüber Reportern im Vorfeld eines EU-Ministergipfels in Dublin, er habe letzte Woche in Washington, D.C. von Vertretern der Trump-Regierung die Zusicherung erhalten, dass ein Verbot unwahrscheinlich sei.

„Natürlich hätte ein 90-tägiges Dieselverbot deutliche Auswirkungen auf uns in der EU“, sagte O’Brien. Allerdings „scheint es nach den Informationen, die ich letzte Woche in Washington erhalten habe, keine Bestrebungen in diese Richtung zu geben.“

EU-Energiekommissar Dan Jørgensen schloss sich dieser Meinung an und erklärte am Dienstagmorgen in Dublin, er sei „erfreut“ über die öffentlichen Äußerungen von [US-Energieminister] Chris Wright, der erklärt hatte, ein Dieselverbot werde nicht funktionieren.

Trump hatte vergangene Woche gedroht, die Ausfuhr von Diesel vorübergehend zu stoppen, da die Preise in den Vereinigten Staaten aufgrund des Krieges im Iran und der von Moskau verhängten Exportbeschränkungen nach ukrainischen Angriffen auf Raffinerien steigen.

Ein solcher Schritt würde Schockwellen durch die europäischen Energiemärkte senden, da laut S&P Global Energy Diesel aus den USA mehr als 50 Prozent der Dieselimporte der EU und 10 Prozent des europäischen Verbrauchs ausmacht.

„Wir werden uns damit nicht einfach abfinden“, sagte Darragh O’Brien. „Aber wenn man auch mit anderen Vertretern der US-Regierung spricht, sieht es nicht so aus, als würde das passieren. Ich denke, das Dieselverbot hätte Auswirkungen auf die Vereinigten Staaten selbst, ebenso wie auf andere Kraftstoffe.“
