EU rejects U.S. threat to ban diesel exports, warning the move would undermine trust in Washington as a reliable partner

Eastora News·

European Commission spokesperson Anna-Kaisa Itkonen said a diesel export ban “would not be beneficial to anyone” and would damage the EU’s confidence in the United States as a reliable partner.

She said the EU’s Oil Coordination Group is due to meet on October 15 but could convene earlier if necessary.

The Commission said diesel supplies across the bloc remain stable for now, although prices are still high amid tight global markets.

The EU is also coordinating with the International Energy Agency over a possible release of oil stocks.
