Sep 23, 2026 Energy Advocates Letter to President Trump Urging Him to Reject Calls to Ban or Limit Fuel Exports
IPAA joined more than 30 U.S. business, energy and manufacturing groups from around the country in issuing a letter to President Trump urging him to reject calls to institute any kind of fuel export ban or limit.
The letter notes:
- “Export bans would lead to less fuel production, tighter supplies, and rising costs for American families, farmers, and truckers.”
- “An export ban would require refineries to throttle utilization to reduce diesel production to equal domestic demand. Falling utilization would result in less gasoline and jet fuel production and higher prices for those products as well…This could not come at a worse time for consumers as home heating oil season is about to begin.”
- “Beyond price impacts, restricting exports would be a gift to our competitors. American energy dominance comes from being a reliable supplier to the world. If we pull back, other countries will step in, our influence will shrink, and our adversaries will gain ground.”
