  "summary": "The G7 nations have announced plans to release 100 million barrels of oil and diesel fuel to address soaring prices, according to The Korea Times. The release will start with a \"substantial\" amount of diesel within the next 20 days, with the U.S. President Donald Trump confirming the action on social media. The decision comes amid rising diesel prices in the U.S., currently averaging $6.37 per gallon, and has been attributed to the Iran war and trade disputes. The move aims to alleviate pressure on President Trump, whose approval ratings on the economy have hit a new low, as reported by an AP-NORC poll.",
