A report that the US is considering a 90-day ban on diesel exports in an attempt to control record fuel prices is “fake news”, Reuters reports quoting a White House official.
The White House official says a report that the US is considering a flat, temporary export ban is not correct.
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright has said earlier in the day that such a ban will not work and can boost gasoline and jet fuel prices, but the US is discussing voluntary measures.
