Supply and demand. Europe has over 50% of new cars sold Diesel while the US is less than 5%, including pickups. Little demand so the cost to produce is high.
It wasn't all that long ago that diesel was a fair bit less than regular unleaded. I've been driving diesels for 25 years. If anything there are more of them on the road today than there were 5-10 years ago when the prices started rising past gasoline.
