More than 30 U.S. business and energy groups urge President Trump to reject a proposed diesel export ban, arguing it would worsen rather than reduce fuel costs. The groups send a letter saying the measure could disrupt diesel supply and raise prices for consumers and businesses.

The proposals discussed by Trump aim to address rising fuel costs, according to coverage of his remarks. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable, and the American Petroleum Institute are among those opposing the ban, with additional manufacturing and energy-related organizations joining the effort. While the outlets agree on the opposition campaign and the groups’ concerns about pricing effects, they emphasize different aspects of the policy: one outlet highlights the breadth of support for rejecting the ban and the groups’ call to avoid restricting exports, while the other focuses on the argument that banning exports would “backfire” on prices. Both describe the letter as a coordinated response to the potential policy.
