G7 announces oil reserve release as Trump hails Europe diesel deal
French President Emmanuel Macron said the G7 would release 100 million barrels over four months, with the diesel portion 'frontloaded.'

The Group of Seven nations have announced a release of oil reserves, with French President Emmanuel Macron saying the G7 would release 100 million barrels over a four-month period. The diesel component of the release is set to be "frontloaded," according to Macron, meaning a larger share would be released earlier in that window.
The announcement follows a separate claim by US President Donald Trump that European countries had agreed to release stockpiled diesel oil, with Trump saying the process would begin immediately. The G7 announcement appears to provide fuller detail and multilateral framing for the diesel release Trump had referenced, tying it to a broader, coordinated reserve release across G7 members rather than a unilateral European move.
Details on which countries would contribute specific volumes, and how the 100 million barrels would be apportioned between crude oil and refined products such as diesel, were not fully specified in the available reporting. The move reflects continued attention among major economies to diesel and broader fuel market conditions.
