The UK government is in talks with the United States in an effort to prevent a threatened halt to diesel exports, John Healey has said.
The threat has been linked to Donald Trump, although the supplied information does not specify the proposed scope of the restriction, which countries or companies could be affected, or when it might come into force.
The discussions are continuing, but no outcome has been given. It is therefore unclear whether the UK government has secured any change to the threatened export ban or whether further negotiations are expected.
