RoydadNaft – <\/a><\/span>\u00a0The United States is considering a diesel export ban to contain a sharp rise in fuel prices.<\/p>\n

According to Roydad Naft, citing Reuters, record diesel prices in the United States and Europe have pushed Washington to look at banning diesel exports to restrain fuel costs.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump said he supports a diesel export ban, while Republican candidates in some November races have called for the step to curb unprecedented fuel prices.<\/p>\n

The U.S. and Israeli war against Iran and the Russia\u2013Ukraine military conflict have sharply cut exports from some of the world\u2019s large producers, including Russia, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, and have driven diesel prices in the United States and Europe to their highest levels.<\/p>\n

As Republicans try to keep majorities in both chambers of Congress in the November 3, 2026, elections, rising fuel prices are a vulnerability for Trump.<\/p>\n

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the administration is examining whether a diesel export ban is possible and whether a full or partial ban would work.<\/p>\n

Several Republican candidates in the most competitive congressional races, including Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Rep. Ashley Hinson of Iowa, who is running for Senate, and Mike Rogers, the Republican Senate nominee in Michigan, have urged the Trump administration to impose a diesel export ban.<\/p>\n

Sullivan said in a statement that fuel produced in America should be used by Americans at home. Diesel prices are extremely high, he said, and he wants a temporary halt to U.S. diesel exports so storage can be rebuilt before winter and the interests of American families and Alaskans put first.<\/p>\n

Energy officials warn of risks<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s support for a ban has met resistance from energy officials in his own administration, who warn it could raise fuel prices on the coasts and cut supply to European allies.<\/p>\n

Energy Secretary Chris Wright said last week that a ban would pile up surplus diesel on the U.S. Gulf Coast, encourage domestic refineries to cut runs, and quickly reduce gasoline output.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you put a blockage in the supply chain, production drops quickly and you end up short of supply,\u201d Wright said. \u201cWe need more supply, not less.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said the ban is unlikely to lower petroleum-product prices and could trigger retaliation from energy-exporting countries that states such as California rely on for part of their energy.<\/p>\n

Oil-industry groups have also opposed the ban. Todd Staples, president of the Texas Oil and Gas Association (TXOGA), said the move would seriously hurt domestic jobs, create fuel shortages at home, and hand power to China and Russia by forcing U.S. allies to import from those countries to meet their needs.<\/p>\n

Even if a diesel export ban appeared to lower prices temporarily on the U.S. Gulf Coast, it would further tighten supply to Europe, a region already short of diesel and heavily dependent on U.S. exports.<\/p>\n

Jim Mitchell, director of oil trading analysis at consultancy Wood Mackenzie, said the step would be very damaging for some of America\u2019s important allies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The United States is considering a diesel export ban to contain a sharp rise in fuel prices.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18824,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,44,46,36,35],"tags":[],"services":[],"class_list":["post-18823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-fuel","category-international","category-lastnews","category-topnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18823"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18823\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18825,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18823\/revisions\/18825"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18823"},{"taxonomy":"services","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services?post=18823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
