U.S. President Donald Trump has focused his attention on European fuel reserves, according to reporting by Al Jazeera and the BBC. Trump has stated that Europe reached an agreement to release what he termed a "massive amount" of diesel fuel from its emergency stockpiles.
At the same time, reports indicate that Washington has exerted pressure on European counterparts, with Trump threatening to halt American diesel exports. According to the BBC, the proposed export restrictions are intended to reduce domestic energy prices in the United States ahead of the elections scheduled for November.
