As U.S. oil and refined product exports soar, will the Trump administration impose an export ban? But, a Trump administration spokesperson said the administration has no plans to ban exports of oil or natural gas products. The oil industry has always enjoyed the right to export refined products such as gasoline and diesel. To implement an export ban, the president would have to declare an emergency. It depends on whether such a ban included refined products such as gasoline and diesel and not just crude oil.
