Doesn't the US produce a surplus of like 2 million barrels of diesel above the domestic demand? All we would need to do is restrict diesel exports. Buying Russian fuel is such a fucking inexplicable move (outside of blatant corruption and a compromised president as the explanation).

No, the US produces a surplus of distillates which includes diesel. I've been seeing this spread around for 2 days now because one person asked googles shit ai.
I don't know, I just did a more thorough review and many sources say that the US is exporting about 1.75 million barrels of actual diesel, not just unfractionated distillate. Why are we importing Russian diesel if we are producing a surplus domestically?
