The US administration has engaged directly with domestic oil refining executives, calling for higher output of transportation fuels to relieve pressure on consumer prices.

During a closed-door meeting held on Tuesday, President Donald Trump urged refiners across the United States to lift their domestic production runs for both gasoline and diesel supplies.

The discussions focused on expanding domestic refinery throughput to ease retail pump prices nationwide, targeting increased market availability for core petroleum products.

Industrial fuel availability and downstream refining activity remain closely watched indicators for transport operations and broader commercial logistics networks across North America.
