EU rejects US threat to ban diesel exports — France 24

The European Union has rejected a US threat to ban diesel fuel exports if the bloc does not release more fuel stocks. France 24 reported this on October 2, citing European Commission spokesperson Anna-Kaisa Itkonen.

The European Union's position

Itkonen said that the EU fully rejects this threat. According to her, such a ban would benefit no one and would undermine the European Union's trust in the United States as a reliable partner.

The US threat specifically concerns exports of diesel fuel from the United States. It is linked to a condition requiring Europe to release additional fuel stocks.
