The G7 agreed to release oil reserves to prevent a US export ban, resolving a transatlantic dispute over fuel prices.
Members of the Group of Seven (G7) bloc of major industrial economies agreed on Friday to a coordinated release of oil from their strategic reserves, according to France 24. The plan calls for 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil to be released over a period of four months.
The countries agreed in a joint statement 'to refrain from export restrictions on energy' and urged other producers to follow their lead. They also specifically committed to a 'frontloaded substantial diesel release' within the first 20 days of the plan.
The agreement came after pressure from the United States, where President Donald Trump had threatened to impose a ban on diesel exports, France 24 reported. The European Union had strongly opposed this threat, with an EU official saying the bloc 'fully' rejected the move.
A European trade official warned that a US export ban would have 'dramatic consequences for our economic performance,' as the EU relies heavily on imported fossil fuels. Reports indicated the Trump administration wanted France and Germany, in particular, to tap their diesel stockpiles to curb rising fuel prices.
French President Emmanuel Macron convened a video call of G7 leaders to discuss joint action after speaking with President Trump. The group comprises Britain, Japan, Canada, Germany, Italy, France, and the United States.
The leaders said in their statement that citizens' concerns about energy prices remain a top priority and pledged to monitor developments and adjust measures as needed.
