  1. US Oil Industry Fights Proposed Diesel Export Ban

    The US oil and gas industry is launching a campaign to defeat a proposed ban on diesel exports. The White House is preparing a 90-day restriction plan as diesel prices reach a new record. While some seek relief from high costs, the energy sector and former officials warn the move lacks economic sense and could cause unintended consequences. The dispute has created tension between the GOP and major oil companies.

    Why it matters

    What is confirmed

    • Diesel prices have reached a new record.
    • The US oil and gas industry is opposing a ban on diesel exports.

    Still unconfirmed

    • The export fight is straining ties between the GOP and Big Oil.

    What to watch next

    • Official announcement of the White House diesel export plan
    • Legislative or executive action to implement the 90-day ban
