00:00President Trump says he is very seriously considering a ban on U.S. diesel exports
00:05as domestic fuel prices soar and global supplies remain tight. Diesel prices have climbed above
00:12$6.50 a gallon, with disruptions tied to the wars in Iran and Ukraine, putting additional
00:18pressure on global refining capacity. Farm state lawmakers have pushed for export restrictions,
00:25arguing that cheaper domestic diesel could provide relief to farmers and truckers,
00:30during the fall harvest. The U.S. is also a major global diesel supplier,
00:34meaning an export ban could reshape fuel markets well beyond American borders.
