Media: the United States urgently looking for a way out in the situation with diesel fuel

U.S. President Donald Trump’s team is exploring other scenarios instead of a complete ban on the export of diesel fuel from the country. This writes the publication Politico, citing three knowledgeable interlocutors involved in these discussions.

Earlier, Donald Trump proposed to block the export of diesel abroad due to the rapid rise in the price of energy resources. Following this, according to the Wall Street Journal, the leaders of such energy giants as Chevron and ExxonMobil began to actively contact representatives of the American authorities, trying to prevent the implementation of this idea into reality.

The article emphasizes that Trump’s staff are looking for workarounds instead of an outright ban on diesel exports to knock its value off historic highs.

The article also clarifies that as one of the possible steps, it is proposed to give the authorities of individual states the right to develop and implement methods for reducing the cost of diesel fuel.

The interlocutors of the publication added that throughout the week in government circles were arguing about different options to choose the most successful strategy by Friday. Trump is expected to announce new initiatives in the first days of next week, but the final verdict has not yet been reached.

Earlier, Reuters reported that the head of the US Department of energy Chris Wright held talks with leading oil refining corporations in the country. The parties discussed the idea of voluntarily reducing the export of diesel abroad as a replacement for a temporary embargo on its external supplies.
