I don't understand the motivation here - isn't the US an exporter? Surely high prices benefit the green line

    There are real shortages at this point, and the US doesn't produce nearly enough diesel to cover the shortfall. The US is looking at an economic crisis at this point with diesel going through the roof. Much of the transportation and farming depend on it. There's absolutely going to be a cap.
