Trump is threatening France and Germany over their high diesel prices, pressing the two governments to draw on their strategic fuel reserves to bring costs down. The remarks, reported by Luxembourg outlet L'Essentiel, add fuel-price pressure to existing transatlantic trade tensions, and European officials have yet to say how, or whether, they will respond.

Why now: High fuel prices are a live political issue in Europe and Trump's intervention escalates transatlantic tensions
