   Macron convenes G7 counterparts to discuss coordinated measures on crude and refined product markets, including facilitating fuel shipments out of the Strait of Hormuz, with no export ban on the table.

     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:

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…

     Trump's ill-considered war on Iran has had consequences the world over with increased fuel prices affecting everyone. There's a global shortage of diesel which affects farmers, industry, transportation... pretty much every sector of the economy.
