According to Macron, G7 nations will release up to 100 million barrels of oil and diesel from strategic reserves over the next four months.
The French president stated that the decision has already been made. Bloomberg reports that the Trump administration had pressured G7 nations to curb rising fuel prices.
The US threatened to restrict diesel exports if Europe did not increase supply.
Trump welcomed the decision, stating that Europe holds large diesel reserves and that their release would begin immediately.
For the first time in our history, Americans are horrified at what could happen during elections. We're bracing ourselves to face Trump's psychotic army.
But there are more of us than them.
Donald Trump is an American terrorist.
We don't negotiate with terrorists.
We vote.

The nerve and arrogance of these people to single-handedly disrupt the global economy, roil markets, and then aggressively demand that other countries take action to stop the bleeding.
Trump is urging Europe to release diesel reserves and saying that US consumers and businesses shouldnโt have to bear the burden of global supply disruptions, which would probably be an easier ask if he hadnโt spent the previous years telling them theyโre useless freeloaders.
@jonfavs Because for some reason we seem to be hellbent on running into some kind of cyberpunk/Asimov Dystopia. Because some very rich guys didn't get enough love?
Why are companies selling fake human beings
Why does the computer software we interact with have to be indistinguishable from a living, breathing person
Why is this an achievement
