G7 Countries Say They Will Release '100 Million Barrels' of Diesel and Crude
The move follows pressure from Washington and aims to lower diesel prices as G7 leaders coordinate emergency energy supplies.
- On Friday, Group of Seven countries agreed to release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil to ease global energy supply concerns, as President Donald Trump pledged to forgo a threatened diesel export ban.

- According to The Times, the agreement involves "emergency stockpiles of fuel and avert a US export ban," with France, Germany, and Italy agreeing to release a "massive amount" of diesel.
- The price of diesel at the pump is expected to fall, though British pumps are currently passing £2 a litre, providing immediate relief for drivers facing high energy costs.
