Should the U.S. ban diesel exports for 90 days to cool pump prices?

Diesel's around $6.50 and rural GOP seats are sweating — so the White House is floating a 90-day export ban while refiners scream it'll raise prices and invite retaliation. Farmers want relief yesterday; energy desks call it midterm panic. Ban it, tweak it, or leave exports alone?

    Export bans are classic midterm vibes — short-term optics, ugly second-order effects.

    Farmers need diesel relief now; I'm soft yes with a sunset.

    API warning on higher retail prices feels directionally right. Fade the ban.

    Disagree. export bans are classic midterm vibes — short-term optics, ugly second-order effects.

    Partial restrictions > blunt embargo. Size accordingly.
