The head of the US Treasury called on EU countries to fulfill their obligations on the supply of diesel fuel

The countries of the European Union (EU) have obligations to supply diesel fuel to the world market and must immediately fulfill them. This was stated by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

The US, under President Donald Trump, is working to stabilize global energy markets, according to an American official. He therefore called on European partners to quickly provide additional volumes of fuel amid ongoing supply disruptions.

“American farmers, truckers and businesses should not bear the burden of a global diesel fuel shortage. America is doing its part. We expect our allies to back up their commitments with action,” he explained.

The White House is discussing introducing a ban on the export of diesel fuel from the United States for a period of 90 days in order to bring down record-breaking prices ahead of the November midterm elections. This could be the first curb on energy exports since President Barack Obama lifted a ban on oil exports in 2015.
