The British authorities are negotiating with the United States regarding the possible cessation of diesel exports, which previously allowed US President Donald Trump. British Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healey told the BBC about the talks, adding that the authorities were working with the Americans to "find a solution to this problem, or at least to make it much easier.".

The U.S. provides about a third of all British diesel imports, and a ban on exports would see prices rise significantly. In the country on September 28, diesel fuel prices reached a new high. According to the RAC, the average price per litre of diesel in the UK reached 199.33 pence, surpassing the previous high of 199.09 pence recorded in June 2022. Gasoline prices also continue to rise, with a litre now costing 174.23p. The main reason for the growth is supply problems caused by the US-Israel conflict with Iran.
Earlier, Donald Trump spoke about the possibility of a ban on the export of diesel fuel from the United States. The White House is considering banning diesel exports for 90 days to curb rising prices. The initiative raised concerns in the European Union, whose authorities urged Mr. Trump not to stop exports.
