US President Donald Trump has announced that European countries have agreed to release large quantities of diesel immediately. He made the statement on Truth Social, saying that Europe has agreed to release a massive amount of their heavily stocked diesel oil, with the process set to begin right away.
The European Union has stated that it is ready to work with the International Energy Agency on a possible release of fuel reserves to contain prices. According to Euronews, releasing diesel reserves could lower pump prices within days, but would only offer short-term relief.
The announcement comes after G7 leaders, including France's President Emmanuel Macron, held talks to coordinate action on fuel prices. The EU previously pushed back against US threats to impose a diesel export ban, with European Commission spokeswoman Anna-Kaisa Itkonen saying that such a ban would not be beneficial to anyone and would undermine trust in the US as a reliable partner.
