EU concerned about US plans to ban diesel exports, spokesperson says

The ​European Union observes ​with concern ‌the United ​States' plans to ban diesel exports, saying ‌such a disruption would risk negative impact on both sides, a European ‌Commission spokesperson said on Thursday. "High-level ‌contacts between the European Union and the U.S. administration are ongoing. We expect ⁠close ​partners ⁠to consult each other before taking measures ⁠that affect shared markets," Olof Gill told ​reporters.

Politico reported that the United ⁠States was preparing a 90-day ban on ⁠diesel ​exports amid a spike in prices ahead of the midterm ⁠elections, though U.S. Energy Secretary Chris ⁠Wright ⁠has disputed that.
