European Commission spokeswoman Anna-Kaisa Itkonen rejects any export ban as undermining trust in the US, while Macron, after speaking with Trump, urges coordinated G7 action without export restrictions ahead of a video call he will chair.

It’s a problem of his own making, and Trump’s threats are the rantings of a very desperate man. Voters seriously need to unite to obliterate Trump in the # midterms . Crooks usually resort to intimidation and bribery in times of trouble, and Trump’s no different. Threatening Europe, and attempting to buy every voter in # America with $5000 while…

Entirely off-topic, but in British english the usual term would be combustion vehicle, or more commonly just Petrol/Diesel.A thermic vehicle sounds delightfully whimsical to my ear, like some sort of victorian steam car.For some reason the form thermic is almost never used in English, instead preferring Thermal with only one exception I'm aware of:

This wouldn't lower the costs. Just slow their rise. Diesel is a PHYSICAL thing. You can't just dump 50 million barrels of it onto the open market. You have to set up transport agreements and go through the legal and logistical nightmare that it is bringing it to bear. That process takes weeks to months. Sure it will exert a downward pressure on…

US alone per 2025 data burns 4 million gallons of diesel per day, 12 days of supply. Looks like an attempt to meddle in the midterm election versus a solution to the shortage. Price decrease will be short lived. @carlquintanilla.bsky.social @cnbc.com

Non-Paywalled article: https://politicstoday.org/us-presses-france-and-germany-to-r...Why doesn't he ban exports right away, forcing Europe to use their stockpiles anyways?Is it that he can't? So the entire threat is moot?Is he thinking of using the Graham bill to threaten +100% tarrifs for buying Russian gas?

No EU should keep the inventory high as it's something that's too important to have ready if there's war brewing and there's around no believe in Trump who's yelling he wants greenland and pull the troops out of EU And we should never bend under threatening behaviour from someone like Trump

The Trump administration has told #Germany and #France to release emergency diesel inventories to help to ease global fuel prices or face a potential US diesel export ban - @reuters.com
-
The US has become a very short-term individual interest focused country. There is no long term vision for the country, there is no care for their own citizens, only today's president's interest matter. Tomorrow doesnt exists. screw-the-future is their warmongering motto.This goes beyond the price of diesel. It is an attack on basic survivability…
-
Why the fuck would we? We need to fuck trump's chances in the midterms. If he decides to ban exports, we can always decide to release reserves then. It's generally accepted that a diesel export ban in the US would only be useful for a limited time anyway

"It is in Europe’s best interest to work with the United States as we pursue multiple pathways to boost the supply of refined products and lower costs for consumers," one of the sources, a US official, told Reuters.It is currently in Europe's best interest to force this clown to back down in Iran.I will happily take €5 per liter (not gallon) for a…

There is a much more pressing issue that is gonna weigh down the choice. Winter. Because its coming and having reduced reserves when of something that is certain to happen is a much more tangible threat then something that isn't gaurenteed
-
I hope this time around European leaders grow cojones, however small they can be, and start treating the US as the enemy hostile country it is.It will inflict short-term pain in Europe, but in the long-term it will be better. It's like ripping out a bandaid.
-
About time they came around Europe has been getting a free ride for far too long - time to play ball or get cast out
-
In France, we see a move to buy second hand EV, which up to now were a very hard sell on the car market. When a liter of petrol costs up to €2.3, it is pretty obvious that people will think twice in keeping their thermic car any longer.
-
I can't quite get across just how cucked european leadership is to the fossil fuel market. especially Germany.

Mango Mussolini is afraid he will suffer at the US midterm elections, hence bullying Europe to use thier stratigic reserves (during a war he started!) to help lower diesel prices in the USA.The USA has lost the plot.
-
Why is it over germany in this case? France proposed it, france diesel imports from america are around 36%.
-
I'm always a little surprised that France never took the next step of the Messmer plan by electrifying road transport earlier. But I suppose it's so contingent on the 21st century battery tech.
-
Any deal with the US is no deal. They will renege on any deal immediately when it suits them.
-
Since when is bullying other countries alright? Those are strategic reserves for real emergencies. To keep the show going _at all_.What a fucking narcistic war monger clique.
-
The longer they wait, the more valuable diesel becomes... Ie., waiting makes them more money
-
This is very insulting to Mussolini, who loved his country and never put its economy in jeopardy to serve a shadowy cabal.

Why don’t they release them after the midterms ?? 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
