Rep. Boebert Calls for a Pause on Diesel Exports

LONE TREE, CO — U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) today called for a temporary pause on U.S. diesel exports through January 2027, followed by a joint review between Congress and the Administration to determine whether the pause should be extended for another three months. Colorado producers should not be forced to subsidize foreign markets while paying more at home.

“While our farmers are filling tanks at record prices and families are being impacted by affordability every day, we are still shipping diesel overseas,” said Rep. Boebert. “That is backwards. Pause the exports for American producers and then reassess whether another three months is needed.”

“Congress and the Trump Administration must work together to pause diesel exports through January 2027,” said Rep. Boebert, “delivering relief to farmers, ranchers, and truckers; and putting American energy and American consumers first.”

This is common sense,” Rep. Boebert said. “End the squeeze on rural America. I will work with anyone serious about delivering real relief.”
