US threatens diesel export ban unless France and Germany release stocks
Original: Sources: US tells France, Germany to release diesel stocks or face US export ban
The United States has told France and Germany to release their diesel stockpiles or face a ban on US diesel exports, according to sources cited by Reuters. The reported ultimatum is aimed at easing tight diesel supplies in Europe, and would mark a significant escalation in energy policy pressure between the transatlantic allies if carried out.
Why now: An American threat to withhold diesel exports from two close European allies is an unusual and consequential escalation in energy diplomacy, drawing immediate attention.
