Trump is weighing a ban on American diesel exports to bring down record prices.
The catch: refineries can’t just make diesel; every barrel splits into gas, diesel, and jet fuel at once, so cutting off one cuts into all three.
The Iran war and Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries have already left the world short on diesel, and the U.S. stepping in to fill that gap is part of why prices are high here too.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright says a ban would mean pricier gas and jet fuel right away, even though a ban is expected to make diesel itself cheaper at first.
Are you comfortable paying more at the pump to bring diesel prices down?
