EU Rejects US Threat to Restrict Diesel Exports Amid Iran War

The European Union has rejected a reported US threat to restrict diesel exports unless European countries release more fuel from their strategic reserves. European Commission spokesperson Anna-Kaisa Itkonen said such a ban would benefit no one and could damage trust in the United States as a reliable partner. US President Donald Trump said European countries could be asked to release diesel reserves to curb rising prices linked to the war in Iran. The EU Oil Coordination Group is due to meet on October 15 and could convene earlier if necessary.
