The U.S. seems unlikely to move ⁠toward an ⁠export ban on diesel, Irish Energy ⁠Minister Darragh O'Brien said on Tuesday.

Based on information he received during a trip to the ⁠U.S. last ⁠week, the minister said there seemed to be no push towards such a ⁠ban.

O'Brien said EU member states should remain vigilant and prepared with reserves, ⁠however, ‌as ‌such a ⁠ban would ‌have significant impact on ⁠the EU ⁠market.
