Trump says Europe will release “massive amount” of diesel oil from stockpiles

President Trump announced that European leaders have agreed to release a significant amount of diesel oil from their stockpiles to help reduce high fuel prices. This decision followed an emergency meeting of the Group of Seven (G7) leaders, which includes countries like Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, along with the European Union.
