Adevăratul șoc la pompă pentru europeni: SUA ar putea impune restricții la exportul de motorină, în încercarea de a scădea prețurile de acolo - Economica.net

John Thune, the Senate Majority Leader, is open to considering a diesel export ban as diesel prices exceed $6 per gallon. He believes that if domestic reserves are sufficient, restricting exports could alleviate price pressures. Diesel and heating oil prices have risen faster than gasoline, impacting key states ahead of the November elections. While some industry officials warn that a ban could lead to higher gasoline prices in the long run, the administration is focused on increasing supply. U.S. diesel exports to Europe have surged, making the U.S. a crucial energy supplier amid global fuel crises. Recent price spikes have also been noted in California, where diesel reached nearly $10 per gallon.
