President Donald Trump is considering restrictions on U.S. diesel exports as fuel prices remain elevated ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections, but EU officials believe a proposed 90-day ban is unlikely. More than a half-dozen Republican candidates and lawmakers in battleground states have urged action, while the White House and Energy Secretary Chris Wright say multiple options remain under review. The national average diesel price reached $6.53 a gallon, nearly 75% above its February level, before easing to $6.45, according to AAA. Supporters say retaining diesel could help farmers, truckers and other domestic users, while refiners and analysts warn that blocked exports could reduce refinery output and raise gasoline, jet-fuel and international fuel costs. Prediction-market YES odds for an announcement by Sept. 30 fell to 1.4%, with the market scheduled to resolve on Sept. 30.
