石油公司和市场分析师都表示，禁止柴油出口可能带来意想不到的后果。
Both oil companies and market analysts say a diesel export ban could have unintended consequences.
在燃油价格飙升之际，唐纳德·特朗普总统正考虑禁止柴油出口。石油公司和市场研究人员警告，此举可能使加州本已位居全国最高的汽油价格进一步上涨。
President Donald Trump is considering banning diesel exports as fuel prices skyrocket — a move that oil companies and market researchers warn could push California’s already nation-high gasoline prices even higher.
上周，白宫开始讨论限制柴油出口的计划（该消息由 POLITICO 率先报道），恰逢共和党人寻求各种办法，以在中期选举前安抚焦虑的选民。
The White House’s discussions around plans to limit diesel exports — first reported by POLITICO — emerged last week as Republicans seek ways to appease anxious voters ahead of the midterms.
在伊朗战争引发严重供应中断、俄罗斯实施出口禁令使全球最大柴油供应国之一退出市场之际，全国柴油均价首次突破每加仑6美元。（据美国汽车协会的数据，截至周一，全国柴油均价为每加仑6.45美元，加州为8.39美元。）市场分析师表示，迫使美国炼油厂将柴油留在国内，可能暂时压低全国各地用于生产、运输货物的拖拉机、卡车和船舶所用柴油的价格。
The national average for a gallon of diesel has eclipsed $6 for the first time ever amid major supply disruptions linked to the war in Iran and a Russian export ban that’s taken one of the world’s largest suppliers off the market. (The price stood at $6.45 nationally and $8.39 in California as of Monday, according to AAA.) Forcing U.S. refiners to keep diesel at home could temporarily lower the price of the fuel that tractors, trucks and ships use to produce and transport goods around the country, according to market analysts.
