Donald Trump anunță că Europa a fost de acord să elibereze rezerve strategice de motorină, în urma presiunilor sale
President Trump announced that Europe agreed to release diesel from strategic reserves to help lower prices ahead of the U.S. midterm elections. He pressured European allies by threatening to ban diesel exports to Europe, which would have harmed their economy. The global fuel market is unstable due to various factors, including the Iran war and Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries. Diesel prices in the U.S. have reached $6.53 per gallon in some states, causing voter dissatisfaction. Europe agreed to cooperate under the condition that the U.S. would drop its export ban threat.
