Temporarily pause U.S. diesel exports
Dan Sullivan called for a temporary moratorium on U.S. diesel exports while the conflict with Iran continues. He said the pause should help rebuild U.S. diesel reserves ahead of winter and prioritize American and Alaskan families, truckers, and fishermen over foreign buyers. He said exports should resume once the conflict is resolved and U.S. inventories return to normal ranges.
Context: The proposed pause is temporary; the stated end conditions are resolution of the conflict with Iran and U.S. inventories returning to normal ranges.
