Trump says Europe has agreed to release stockpiled diesel oil
The US president said the process would begin immediately, though European governments had not confirmed the claim.

US President Donald Trump said European countries have agreed to release a large quantity of stockpiled diesel oil, adding that the process would begin immediately. He did not specify which countries were involved or the volume of fuel to be released.
No European government or European Union institution had, at the time of the statement, issued independent confirmation of the agreement Trump described. The claim comes amid periodic market attention to diesel and broader fuel supply conditions in Europe, where governments have at times drawn on strategic or commercial reserves to ease price pressures during supply disruptions.
Details on the scale, timing and mechanics of any such release remain unclear, and it was not immediately known whether the move, if confirmed, would involve coordinated action across multiple European governments or stem from separate national decisions.
