Trump administration preparing for a ban on diesel exports

According to the news by Politico, based on 5 sources close to the issue, the Trump administration is preparing to take a radical step regarding rising fuel prices in the country before the midterm elections to be held on November 3.

The Trump administration plans to impose a 90-day ban on diesel exports, but there is disagreement within the administration and the oil industry on the issue.

On the other hand, some people in the oil industry, some Republican Congress members and some officials from the Trump administration oppose this idea of ​​the Trump administration, stating that this practice, which may reduce prices in the short term, may mean higher prices in the future.

However, while high energy prices still put the Republican candidates in a difficult situation as they move towards the critical midterm elections to be held in less than 7 weeks, some sources stated that Trump is considering declaring a ban by the end of the week and will consider possible negative reactions as "the problem of December".

If shipments are halted, it would be the first restriction on U.S. energy exports since former President Barack Obama's administration lifted a decades-old oil export ban in 2015.
