BREAKING: Trump administration prepares 90-day total diesel export ban, with Trump inclined to announce it by the end of the week, per Politico.Energy Secretary Chris Wright called energy CEOs on Tuesday night to tell them a 90-day ban was coming in the coming days, and a number of them immediately called the White House to push back.
One oil industry executive who has discussed the ban with senior White House officials says Trump would consider any blowback and consequences "a December problem."
An external adviser to the administration says there has been "a bunch of frantic outreach" searching for alternatives and calls the ban "a terrible idea," yet Trump is expecting to proceed anyways.
