Canada Has ‘Backup Plans’ in Case Trump Bans Diesel Exports

Canada has established contingency plans to protect its domestic fuel supply should the United States enact a diesel export ban. Canadian officials note that because the country is a net exporter of diesel, it can manage potential trade disruptions if necessary. The White House is considering the export restriction amid a worsening global supply crunch, demanding that European allies drain emergency reserves to lower domestic fuel prices. While some Republican lawmakers have urged a ban, analysts warn the measure could backfire against American drivers.
