Headline: UNCAPTIONED: UK Tries To Stop Trump's Potential Diesel Export Ban
Caption: UK Tries To Stop Trump's Potential Diesel Export Ban. The UK is in talks with the United States in an effort to prevent a potential ban on American diesel exports. Chancellor John Healey said the government was discussing the issue with US authorities while also preparing for the possibility that President Donald Trump could halt exports. The UK relies on the United States for around a third of its diesel imports, meaning a ban could push already record-high prices even higher. Healey described UK diesel prices as "extreme" but said Britain has its own fuel stocks if additional supplies are needed. President Trump has said his administration is seriously considering an export ban, as it looks for ways to reduce fuel costs for American consumers. Healey said Britain was also working with Washington towards a diplomatic settlement to the conflict with Iran, which has contributed to global fuel supply pressures.
