Art Of Leverage? France Pushes 100-Million-Barrel Emergency Release After Trump Threatens Diesel Export Ban
If confirmed, Bloomberg’s report that France proposed that other European countries and International Energy Agency members release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil from emergency stockpiles would signal that Brussels is caving to President Trump’s demand.
Europe’s dependence on US fuel supplies gives the Trump administration major bargaining power as the continent approaches winter with below-average energy supplies and exposure to higher costs if a cold snap or further supply disruptions materialize.
The report has not been officially confirmed and is based on sources, but it says European countries are considering releasing 50 million barrels of diesel, with International Energy Agency members making another 50 million barrels of crude available.
One day earlier, Reuters reported that the Trump administration asked Germany and France to release emergency diesel inventories to help create a buffer against the supply squeeze in the industrial fuel or face a potential US diesel export ban.
The art of wheeling and dealing is all about leverage, and it appears the US threat of a diesel export ban might be enough to make Europeans come to their senses and dump emergency fuel and crude supplies onto the market.
Bloomberg also mentioned that French President Emmanuel Macron and President Trump spoke overnight and that G7 leaders are set to convene around 0830 ET.
“It is in Europe’s best interest to work with the United States as we pursue multiple pathways to boost the supply of refined products and lower costs for consumers,” one source, a US official, told Reuters on Thursday.
