By Rhyter Times Desk · 1d ago
Group of Seven member nations have agreed to tap into their emergency reserves to release up to 100 million barrels of crude oil and diesel, according to reports from The Guardian and Al Jazeera. French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed that leaders and ministers from the group of major economies coordinated on the measure.
The agreed stockpile drawdown intersects with ongoing tensions and developments surrounding US fuel supplies involving Donald Trump. While The Guardian reported that the decision followed a surge in prices and threats from Trump to cut off American diesel exports, Al Jazeera highlighted Trump welcoming a diesel deal with Europe.
According to statements from Macron reported by Al Jazeera, the emergency reserve distribution will be carried out over a four-month period, with the release of diesel stocks scheduled to be frontloaded.
