US pressures European allies to release strategic diesel reserves or face export ban

The Trump administration demanded that European allies, particularly France and Germany, release strategic diesel reserves to lower soaring fuel prices, threatening a US diesel export ban if they do not comply. The US-Iran war, now in its eighth month, has disrupted Middle East oil supplies and sent diesel prices to record highs. European officials held emergency talks and expressed concern that a US export ban would have severe economic consequences for Europe.
