Marine Le Pen: the ban on American diesel exports would have "incalculable" consequences
Guest at the POLITICO Playbook Paris Live summit, the National Rally candidate called for a reduction in VAT on energy.
Marine Le Pen has warned that a proposed US ban on diesel exports would have "incalculable" consequences for French consumers. She stated that rising fuel prices are a major concern for the French people, and that a ban on US diesel exports would particularly affect France, which imported 42,000 barrels of US diesel last month. Le Pen proposed reducing energy VAT as a solution to high fuel prices, estimating the cost at around 12 billion, which she claimed could be offset by savings.
She also criticized President Emmanuel Macron's handling of the energy crisis, accusing him of taking no action to lower fuel prices since his re-election.
