Trump proposed ban on diesel exports could have unintended consequences for Texas refineries
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Trump Administration is proposing a 90-day ban on diesel exports to combat rising fuel prices, a move that could negatively impact Texas refineries and the state's economy. Texas refineries produce around 6.3 million barrels of diesel daily, with 1.5 million barrels exported. Industry leaders warn that restricting exports could lead to job losses and fuel shortages domestically, while also empowering foreign competitors like China and Russia. Governor Greg Abbott has declared a disaster to allow the use of dyed diesel to alleviate prices. Experts caution that reduced refinery operations could further drive up fuel costs.
