Industry figure Andrew Burnham is reportedly lobbying President Donald Trump to oppose a potential ban on U.S. diesel exports. The administration is currently evaluating whether to implement a full or partial restriction on shipments as a response to record-high diesel prices.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed that the administration is still reviewing the feasibility of the policy. Internal discussions remain ongoing, as some officials express concerns that such a ban could negatively impact fuel markets and lead to price increases elsewhere.
The administration has not reached a final decision on the matter. Market participants are monitoring the situation closely ahead of the September 30 deadline, awaiting further official statements from the White House or the Treasury Department.
