“restrictions on diesel fuel exports by non-producers [remain in force]”
SINGLE SOURCE
One source ('Dances With Bears') explicitly mentions a ban on diesel fuel for non-producers by the end of the year. Another source mentions the FAS supports the idea of introducing such restrictions, but there is no corroboration from a second independent news organization confirming the ban is currently 'in force' as a settled fact.
