Ban on diesel exports: Trump should drop it, say European officials
According to Irish Energy Minister Darragh O'Brien, it "does not appear" that this threat "is likely to happen".

Irish Energy Minister Darragh O'Brien said US administration officials told him last week that such a ban is unlikely.

European Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen welcomed US Energy Secretary Chris Wright's statement that a diesel export ban would not work.
