ELLESMERE PORT, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 02: A general view of Stanlow Petrol Refinery on October 02, 2026 in Ellesmere Port, England. US President Donald Trump has suggested a potential ban on US diesel exports to lower domestic fuel costs before the November midterms. Washington has delivered an ultimatum to Germany and France, demanding they release roughly 120 million barrels of diesel from their strategic stockpiles over the next six months or face being cut off from US supplies entirely. This push is driven by soaring fuel prices exacerbated by the ongoing Iran war and has triggered emergency coordination talks between the European Commission and several nations, including the UK, which relies heavily on US imports.  (Photo by Ryan Jenkinson/Getty Images)
