Franța ia în considerare eliberarea unei părți importante din rezervele de petrol și motorină, ca răspuns la presiunile exercitate de SUA

French officials proposed releasing significant amounts of strategic oil and diesel reserves amid urgent discussions following a U.S. request for European nations to tap into their reserves. During a meeting of European energy officials, Paris suggested releasing 50 million barrels of crude oil and 50 million barrels of diesel, pending technical evaluation. This proposal follows a call from U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright for Europe to release 120 million barrels over three months to counter rising diesel prices, or face potential export restrictions. Germany remains hesitant about releasing any oil, preferring to act only for genuine supply security reasons. President Macron plans to convene a G7 meeting to coordinate measures to alleviate price pressures and ensure oil supply.
