In this episode of the Ben Ferguson Sow Podcast, Ben discusses President Trump’s push to keep more diesel in the United States, the economic pressures facing farmers and truckers, the debate over energy exports, and the competing arguments from lawmakers, governors, and industry leaders. They also examine Trump’s address to the United Nations, his America First vision for U.S. leadership, and his comments on Iran, Ukraine, and America’s role on the global stage.

Record diesel prices are driving a new policy fight in Washington, with President Trump publicly backing the idea of limiting U.S. diesel exports to keep more fuel at home. As farmers, truckers, and businesses face rising costs, the administration is examining whether a full or partial export restriction could provide relief for American consumers.Supporters argue that American-produced diesel should be prioritized for Americans before being sold overseas, especially as global demand surges because of geopolitical conflicts and disruptions in energy markets. Opponents, including parts of the energy industry, warn that restricting exports could create unintended consequences, reduce refinery output, and potentially raise prices instead of lowering them.

Topics Covered:

• President Trump’s support for potential diesel export restrictions and the administration’s review of policy options.
• How record diesel prices impact agriculture, trucking, supply chains, and consumer costs.
