Energy crisis: Europe releases strategic diesel reserves

"Europe has just agreed to release a large amount of its diesel supplies. The process will begin immediately." Donald Trump announced it on Truth. Confirmation from French President Emmanuel Macron arrived shortly thereafter. “I just brought together the G7 leaders on the global energy situation. We agreed to work in a coordinated way to help reduce the prices of petroleum products, in particular diesel,” Macron wrote on energy between partners".

The request made by Trump in the last few hours

In recent hours, United States President Donald Trump had openly asked European leaders to use their strategic reserves to slow down the surge in global prices. The request had come at a particularly critical stage: tensions between Israel and Iran are pushing energy costs through the roof, while in the UK diesel has already set historic records at the pump. To protect American consumers, Trump is also considering blocking fuel exports abroad. If implemented, this measure would reduce prices in the United States but hit Europe hard. After the stop to Russian supplies, in fact, European countries are heavily dependent on the USA, which guarantees a constant flow of between 1.2 and 1.5 million barrels per day.
