Europe releases emergency diesel reserves under US pressure
Original: FFS.. # Europe bows to pressure from the US to release emergency diesel reserves as Trump seeks to bring down fuel price
Europe has agreed to release emergency diesel reserves following pressure from the United States, as President Trump pushes to bring down fuel prices ahead of the midterm elections. Commenters are reacting with frustration, seeing the move as Europe caving to American demands and questioning what the release of strategic stocks means for European energy security.
Why now: The reported US pressure on Europe to drain its own reserves to help Trump politically has struck a nerve with observers critical of transatlantic relations.
