Gasoline and diesel hit a new high coinciding with Trump's supposed veto
The price of diesel and gasoline is approaching the record set in the summer of 2022, coinciding with the first months of the war in Ukraine.
Gasoline and diesel prices in Europe are nearing their 2022 record highs, set during the summer when the Ukraine war started. The price of gasoline has risen for 12 consecutive weeks, reaching a new yearly high, while diesel prices have also surged, erasing most of the tax relief introduced in September. The European Commission has criticized US President Donald Trump's plan to ban diesel exports for three months ahead of the November 3 elections, calling it a "very bad idea" that would negatively impact both the US and the EU.
In the EU, the average price of diesel has increased by 4.58% to €1.918 per liter, and gasoline has risen by 3.32% to €1.928 per liter.
