Trump Weighs 90-Day Diesel Export Ban; Europe Supply Risk

President Trump is reportedly considering a 90-day halt on U.S. diesel exports to combat record-high fuel prices ahead of midterms. If enacted, this would tighten global diesel supply, hitting Europe—particularly France—during peak demand and political sensitivity. The plan is unconfirmed and faces legal and logistical hurdles, but signals a shift toward protectionist energy policy.
