The European Union has pushed back against the prospect of a potential United States ban on diesel exports, warning that such a move could damage trust between the two sides.
"A ban would not be beneficial to anyone. It would undermine our trust in the United States as a reliable partner," an EU spokesperson said, according to Anadolu Agency.
The spokesperson's comments reflect concern in Brussels over the potential economic and diplomatic fallout of restrictions on US diesel exports, which European countries rely on as part of their broader energy supply.
No further details were provided on the current status of any proposed ban or the timeline under which such a measure might be considered by US authorities.
The EU's statement underscores the broader sensitivity around transatlantic energy trade at a time when European countries continue to manage fuel supply following disruptions to traditional sources.
