    Big Ag and Big Oil battle for Trump’s support on diesel
    Sep 23 2026
    Diesel prices are at record highs across the country right now, and that’s creating a major split inside the Republican party ahead of the November midterm elections. Many farm-state Republicans want President Donald Trump to restrict diesel exports, while America’s oil and gas industry warns that doing so could drive prices even higher. POLITICO’s James Bikales explains what’s driving the spike in diesel prices, whether an export ban would help and what the Trump administration might do. Plus, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott expanded his de facto moratorium on new data centers, and French President Emmanuel Macron has called for a moratorium on energy sector strikes between Ukraine and Russia.
