Trump administration pressures Germany and France over emergency diesel reserves
Original: BREAKING: Trump administration tells Germany and France to immediately draw down their emergency diesel reserves or face
The Trump administration has told Germany and France to immediately draw down their emergency diesel reserves or face a US diesel export ban, asking the EU to release 120 million barrels over the next six months, according to Reuters reporting. The European Commission, Germany, France and Italy are said to be involved in responding to the demand. The unusual ultimatum over strategic energy stockpiles is drawing strong reaction online.
Why now: The threat of a US diesel export ban and pressure on European strategic reserves is a major, unexpected escalation in transatlantic trade and energy relations.
