Trump pressures Europe into releasing oil and diesel stockpiles

Original: il manifesto: Sbloccate le scorte di petrolio e diesel. Trump piega l’Europa Trump minaccia, gli europei obbediscono. Lo

Italian newspaper il manifesto reports that Europe has given in to pressure from Donald Trump on energy policy, releasing stocks of oil and diesel. According to the report, Emmanuel Macron, after a phone call with Trump on Thursday evening, hastily convened a G7 meeting, with the episode described as another case of Europeans obeying US threats on energy.

Why now: Trump's pressure on European governments over energy stocks and the hasty G7 response have reignited debate about Europe's dependence on and deference to Washington.
