Donald Trump says Europe "has just agreed to release a massive amount" of diesel oil

US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Europe had decided on a substantial drawdown from its diesel inventories, starting soon. The statement came as British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband was expected to attend an emergency G7 meeting on world energy supplies Friday, filling in for Andy Burnham while the prime minister attended his father’s funeral. The session takes place under US pressure for European nations to tap reserves, with UK diesel prices reaching £2 per litre for the first time. Trump has said he may ask Europe to draw down stocks as he weighs banning US diesel exports. Transport minister Keir Mather said UK supplies are secure and varied, though Britain buys most of its diesel abroad, about a third from America.
