What each AI says

GPT-5.6 Luna

8% yes

Probably not — the latest reporting says no ban has been announced or implemented, and Trump explicitly said there would not be one. The main risk is a rapid policy reversal or emergency action before the Nov. 3 deadline that a qualifying Source Agency reports as effective.

Claude Sonnet 5

4% yes

Probably not — Trump explicitly denied plans for a ban on 2026-10-02, and as of 2026-10-13 coverage still describes it as rumor with no implementation; short runway before Nov 3 makes sudden enactment unlikely. Main risk is a surprise policy reversal driven by diesel supply/price pressures before the deadline.

Gemini 3.8 Flash

4% yes

Probably not — the administration and Trump explicitly denied that a diesel export ban would be enacted, and no ban has been implemented as of mid-October. With less than three weeks remaining until the November 3 deadline, the policy hurdle and economic disruption of an actual enacted ban make implementation highly improbable. The primary risk is an abrupt emergency executive action triggered by a sudden severe domestic fuel supply crisis.

Grok 4.6

12% yes

Probably not — Trump publicly denied a diesel export ban on Oct 2 and later reporting through Oct 13 treated it as an unconfirmed rumor with no implementation. With only ~2.5 weeks left until Nov 3 and no source-agency confirmation of an actual ban taking effect, an abrupt reversal looks unlikely. A sudden energy-security crisis or last-minute executive action could still change that.

DeepSeek V4 Pro

12% yes

Likely no — current reporting shows Trump publicly denied a diesel export ban on 2026-10-02, and as of 2026-10-13 no ban had been announced or implemented. The only concrete action is a threat to Germany and France to release inventories, which is not an enacted ban. A sudden policy reversal before Nov 3 is possible but appears unlikely given the administration’s stated position.

Qwen 3.8 Max

6% yes

Probably not — as of October 13, 2026, no source agency has reported an actual diesel export ban going into effect, and Trump publicly stated on October 2 that there would not be one. The ban has been used as a bargaining threat toward European allies but not enacted. A sudden reversal in the remaining ~18 days is possible but would require a dramatic shift in policy stance that contradicts the president's own public statements.

Mistral Medium 3.5

15% yes

Probably not — All recent reporting from source agencies indicates no diesel export ban has been imposed, with direct denials from the White House and Trump. The main risk is a last-minute policy reversal, but current evidence strongly suggests no ban will take effect before Nov 3.

Kimi K3

7% yes

Probably not — Trump publicly stated on 2026-10-02 there would be no US diesel export ban, and as of 2026-10-13 reporting it remains only a rumor with nothing announced or implemented. The 2026-10-01 report of threats to Germany and France is a bargaining position, not an enacted ban, and congressional bills are merely under consideration. The main risk is a sudden policy reversal in the ~2.5 weeks before Nov 3, but the administration's explicit denial makes that unlikely.

GLM 5.3

5% yes

Probably not — Trump publicly stated on 2026-10-02 there would be no diesel export ban, and no source-agency reporting shows one has been enacted or taken effect. With only ~2 weeks until the Nov 3 deadline, an actual imposed ban going into effect seems unlikely given the threat appears to be a bargaining position toward Germany and France. The main risk: a sudden reversal by the administration or escalation in the Europe inventory dispute could trigger a rapid ban announcement.

MiMo V2.5 Pro

4% yes

Probably not — Trump publicly said on 2026-10-02 there would be no diesel export ban, and as of mid-October reporting the ban remains only a rumor or threat, with no enacted policy. The window is short (about 2.5 weeks) and requires an actual imposed, effective ban plus source-agency confirmation, not just congressional bills or bargaining threats. I could be wrong if a sudden escalation over European diesel supplies prompts an emergency action, but the current trajectory points clearly to NO.

News the AIs read (Oct 16)
- **No confirmed US diesel export ban has gone into effect before 2026-11-03 in the source-agency reporting provided.** Reuters reported on 2026-09-23 that a White House official denied a report that the US was preparing a 90-day ban, and later reporting on 2026-10-02 said Trump said there would **not** be a US export ban on diesel. - On 2026-10-01, Reuters reported the administration had told Germany and France to release diesel inventories or face a **potential** US export ban, which is a threat or bargaining position, not an enacted ban. - A Congressional Research Service note dated 2026-10-01 said bills were being considered that **would** ban diesel exports, but it did not say such a ban had been imposed or taken effect. - Later coverage from 2026-10-13 said the diesel export ban remained a rumor and that no export ban had been announced or implemented as of publication. - No source-agency report in the provided results confirms a ban actually became effective before 2026-11-03; the current evidence points the other way, with Trump publicly saying on 2026-10-02 that there would not be a ban.
Resolution rules
If the United States has imposed a ban on exports of diesel that has gone into effect after Issuance and before Nov 3, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes. Only reporting from any of the Source Agencies qualifies for the purposes of this market. Reports that merely reference prior publications (from before Issuance) do not qualify. Republishing of content originally produced by other sources (e.g., wire services) only qualifies if the content is hosted on the outlet's official platform and the outlet is clearly identified as the publishing entity.
