The White House is preparing a decree to reduce diesel prices

The White House is preparing a decree aimed at reducing the cost of diesel fuel in the United States, Reuters reports, citing informed sources.

In September, the average price of diesel fuel in the United States again broke a record, exceeding $6.48 per gallon (about 3.8 liters), according to data from the American Automobile Association (AAA).

“Washington is putting pressure on Europe to release emergency fuel supplies as the White House prepares an executive order aimed at combating record high diesel prices in the US,” wrote Reuters social media correspondent H.

The decree could be published as early as next week, sources said.

The Politico newspaper, citing sources, previously reported that the United States has put forward a proposal according to which EU governments should release 120 million barrels of diesel fuel from national strategic reserves within 180 days.
