Major US business groups warned Trump that banning diesel exports would reduce production, tighten supplies, and raise costs for American families. Trump faced pressure from farm-state lawmakers to lower fuel prices ahead of midterms, previously suggesting an export ban internally. Experts predict a ban would cause refiners to cut output, leading to higher gasoline prices after a brief initial drop in diesel costs.
