WASHINGTON, October 3. /TASS/. The United States will not impose a ban on diesel fuel exports, US President Donald Trump said answering reporters' questions on the White House South Lawn.

"Europe has a lot of diesel, and they’re going to be making a major world contribution, and so are we. And we’re not going to be doing the export ban," he said.

"It was never really ever on the table, but what Europe did was a great thing," he added.

On Friday, Trump announced that European countries had agreed to release significant volumes of diesel fuel from their reserves.
