EU trade commissioner Maroš Šefčovič said on Thursday that he had discussed tight diesel supplies and high prices with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. Speaking on the sidelines of a G20 trade ministers’ meeting, Šefčovič said Europe wanted a coordinated approach with Washington to bring prices down. [1] [2]
The talks came as Reuters reported, citing three people close to the discussions, that the Trump administration had urged France and Germany to release emergency diesel stocks or face a possible US ban on diesel exports. Greer separately said he was discussing European reserve releases with some of his trade counterparts. [6] [4]
Šefčovič said a US export ban would be unexpected and could have dramatic consequences for Europe’s economy. He said the two sides had agreed to stay in close contact, although they had not discussed energy exports in detail. [3]
