Idea to combat high diesel prices to help farmers faces pushback from oil, gas industry

President Donald Trump is considering a plan to ban or restrict diesel exports to lower domestic fuel prices for ranchers and farmers struggling with profitability. This proposal faces pushback from the oil and gas industry. Meanwhile, current market conditions show high costs, with trucker Junior Antoine reporting a diesel price of $6.79 per gallon at the RMZ Travel Center in Londonderry on September 23, 2026, as other drivers like Justin Simmones also navigate these prices.
