U.S. Energy Secretary Wright said the Trump administration will not impose a
blanket ban on diesel exports but intends to pursue voluntary export limits. He
said the government will not stop all exports and seeks to preserve global
diesel supplies while reining in domestic price trends; measures will be
voluntary. Wright added officials want to avoid heavy‑handed policy and
recognize refinery complexity. Trump’s earlier comment that the government was
considering diesel export limits has raised industry concern; refiners warn a
ban could tighten U.S. diesel and gasoline availability and push prices sharply
higher.
