  "account": "The US government is considering a ban on exporting diesel fuel due to rising prices, particularly for diesel. US President Donald Trump stated that a halt on exports could have a small impact on fuel prices in the US, and that he has long advocated for such a measure. The government is examining the feasibility of a full or partial export ban, which could have noticeable effects in Europe, as the US has been a key supplier of diesel to the region. The consideration comes as diesel prices have reached a record high, and amid criticism that the Iran conflict is driving up fuel costs.",
  "summary": "Right in the middle of the election campaign, fuel prices in the USA continue to rise significantly. The US government is therefore examining a measure that is likely to make Europe sit up and take notice.",
