Last week, the G7 promised to release 100 million barrels of oil and diesel from emergency reserves after the Trump administration threatened to ban U.S. diesel exports. But as per new report, the pledge is largely about finishing an emergency release that was agreed back in March, and France and Germany say they will draw on barrels already committed in March, with Berlin ruling out any extra for now. So who really holds the keys to Europe's emergency oil, when will the diesel actually reach the market, and will it bring prices under control? --- G7 Oil Pledge | Donald Trump | Europe Oil Reserves | 100 Million Barrels | G7 Oil Release | European Oil Stocks | Trump Oil Strategy | Iran War | Strait Of Hormuz | Global Oil Crisis | Diesel Shortage | Strategic Oil Reserves | International Energy Agency | IEA Oil Release | March Oil Pledge | European Union | US Energy Policy | Oil Prices | Global Energy Security | FP Explains | Firstpost #g7 #donaldtrump #europe #oilreserves #oilcris
