  "account": "The EU expressed cautious optimism on Tuesday that US President Donald Trump would abandon his threat to temporarily halt diesel exports for 90 days. Irish Energy Minister Darragh O’Brien, who currently holds the presidency of the EU, told reporters ahead of an EU ministers' summit in Dublin that he had received assurances from Trump administration representatives last week that a ban was unlikely. \"A 90-day diesel ban would naturally have significant impacts on us in the EU,\" O’Brien said. However, \"based on the information I received last week in Washington, there don't seem to be any efforts in that direction.\" EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen echoed this sentiment, expressing satisfaction with the public statements made by US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who had claimed that a diesel ban would not work. Trump threatened to halt diesel exports temporarily last week because prices in the United States have risen due to the war in Iran and export restrictions imposed by Moscow following Ukrainian attacks on refineries. Such a move would send shockwaves through European energy markets, as S&P Global Energy notes that diesel from the US accounts for over 50 percent of EU diesel imports and 10 percent of European consumption. \"We won't simply accept that,\" O’Brien stated. \"But when speaking with other representatives of the US government, it doesn't appear to be happening. I think the diesel ban would affect the United States itself, just like other fuels.\"",
