Republicans Urge Trump to Ban U.S. Diesel Exports

A group of Republicans has called on President Trump to ban exports of U.S. diesel fuel, according to the New York Times. The push reflects concerns within the party about domestic fuel supply and prices, and pits protectionist energy policy against the oil industry's export interests. The debate comes as fuel costs remain a politically sensitive issue heading into the fall.
Why now: Diesel prices and energy policy are politically charged, and a faction of Republicans breaking with export-friendly orthodoxy draws attention.
