EU ‘fully rejects’ US threat to ban diesel exports unless bloc releases more fuel stocks
- The European Union “fully rejects” the threat made by the US to ban diesel exports if Europe does not release more of its fuel stocks, European Commission spokesperson Anna-Kaisa Itkonen said.
- “A ban would not be beneficial to anyone.
- It would undermine our trust in the United States as a reliable partner,” she said, adding that the next EU’s Oil Coordination Group meeting is scheduled for October 15, but could be brought forward if needed.
