President Donald Trump stated on September 22 that he supports considering a ban or restrictions on U.S. diesel exports to address record national average prices above $6.50 per gallon. The comments followed pressure from Republican lawmakers in farm states ahead of November midterms, amid global supply strains from the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran and ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed the administration is assessing feasibility of a full or partial ban without harming refinery operations, with Trump indicating a decision would come quickly. U.S. exports have averaged over 1.3 million barrels per day, and industry groups warn restrictions could reduce overall fuel production, raise global prices, and disrupt supplies to allies. No ban has been implemented.

For purposes of this market, a "ban on the export of diesel" means a prohibition on the exportation of diesel fuel (distillate fuel oil) from the United States, whether imposed on all exports or on substantially all exports. A restriction, quota, tariff, licensing requirement, destination-specific ban, or other limitation short of an export prohibition will not qualify unless it operates as a general prohibition on diesel exports. A prohibition may qualify whether it is temporary or permanent, provided the announcement clearly communicates a prohibition on diesel exports.
A qualifying announcement must be a declarative statement of the U.S. government's present implementation of, previously-unannounced prior implementation of, or definitive decision to implement a ban on the export of diesel.
A qualifying announcement must clearly and unambiguously identify a ban on the export of diesel. Statements that merely allude to, reference, or describe such a ban, without clearly communicating it, do not qualify. The announcement need not use specific terminology or reference the ban by name, provided the substance of a prohibition on diesel exports is clearly and unambiguously communicated.
A qualifying announcement must be made through official channels, by an individual acting in an official capacity. Statements made incidentally or informally in a context not intended for official communication do not qualify.
An announcement by the U.S. government that it accepts or agrees to an agreement, framework, or roadmap that includes a commitment to ban diesel exports qualifies only if (i) all parties whose acceptance is required for the agreement to take effect have accepted the agreement, or (ii) the announcement independently communicates the ban as a present and decided position of the United States, not contingent on acceptance by any other party.
The following do not qualify as official announcements:
Anonymous, unattributed, or leaked statements not confirmed as official;
Statements by persons not authorized to speak for the U.S. government;
Third-party speculation, analysis, or predictions that the United States will announce or implement such a ban;
Satirical, fabricated, hacked, or impersonated communications;
Statements that describe a prospective, contingent, probable, or conditional implementation of such a ban rather than announcing a present and decided position.
Once a qualifying announcement is made, this market will resolve to "Yes" regardless of whether it is later reversed, or whether a ban on diesel exports is ever actually implemented.
Resolution will be based on official information from the U.S. government or its authorized representatives; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
