📰 THE FULL STORY

The White House is moving closer to a diesel export ban as Trump's Iran war continues to roil energy markets, according to reporting from across the political spectrum (Daily Caller). The decision is unfolding against a backdrop of unsettled energy prices.

HuffPost reports that Trump has signed on to a diesel export ban even though it make things worse. France24 frames the move as sparking a debate over the policy.

Critics warn the Trump-backed diesel export ban further drive the US economy into the ground (Common Dreams), and the Financial Times headlines that the ban will backfire.

Separately, the Daily Caller reports that America's emergency oil stockpile is running low as winter nears. That raises questions about supply as the export decision approaches.

⚠️ WHAT THEY AREN'T TELLING YOU
Beyond the debate over the ban itself, the Daily Caller reports that America's emergency oil stockpile is running low as winter nears, a supply constraint that sits alongside the export decision. Coverage also links the energy market disruption directly to Trump's ongoing Iran war. Both deta
