Politico, citing five sources, reports the Trump administration is drafting a 90-day diesel export pause intended to lower domestic diesel prices ahead of the midterms. The plan has provoked splits inside government and the oil sector; Energy Secretary Wright, Treasury Secretary Bessent and Interior Secretary Burgum oppose a full ban. Wright warned a simple export prohibition could force refiners to cut runs — because diesel is co-produced with gasoline and jet fuel — and raise other fuel prices. Recent US strikes on Iran and an attack on a Russian refinery have pushed diesel prices higher. Farm-state Republican pressure, including public support from Senator Chuck Grassley, has pushed the proposal; Trump is said to be inclined to announce measures before the weekend, but the decision remains subject to change.
