El plan de Trump para vetar las exportaciones de diésel agrava la crisis en Europa
Cercado por el precio récord del combustible, el republicano trata de mover ficha antes de las elecciones. La espiral de precios empeorará fuera de EE UU, con el Viejo Continente y América Latina en el ojo del huracán
The Trump administration's plan to impose a ban on diesel exports is exacerbating the crisis in Europe. The United States and its oil industry are profiting immensely from selling petroleum and its derivatives to the rest of the world. The world's leading economy is bridging the supply gap left by the Gulf countries due to the war in Iran and Russia's attacks on Ukraine's refineries.
However, all things have their limits, and the barrier was reached when diesel prices in American gas stations surpassed $6.50 per gallon on Tuesday. Shortly after this threshold was crossed, Donald Trump expressed, for the first time publicly, his support for banning the export of this fuel in order to cause a price drop. This measure would have a tremendous impact on an energy market that has become a pressure cooker, with Latin America and Europe, the main buyers of American diesel, being the major casualties.
