\u201cOur European partners should accelerate delivery on their existing commitments and make additional supplies immediately available to address ongoing disruptions,\u201d Bessent said in a social media post.<\/p>\n

Earlier, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said that he believes France, Germany and Italy \u201cwould love to have a \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060cooperative path forward with the \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060United States on \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060how we get more diesel to market\u201d.<\/p>\n

European capitals have spent Thursday coordinating diesel measures, while US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said he was \u201chighly confident\u201d Europe could help ease soaring global prices by releasing emergency diesel inventories. \u2060\u2060<\/p>\n

US diesel prices have surged, hitting a record of $6.53 \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060per gallon a week ago, as data published by the European Commission showed 12 EU member states had recorded new all-time highs, including Italy, Belgium, Romania and Poland.<\/p>\n

The spike in US diesel prices prompted the Trump administration and Republican lawmakers to consider restricting US diesel exports ahead of upcoming midterm elections.<\/p>\n

France and Germany hold more than a third of the EU\u2019s strategic diesel reserves, according to the Reuters news agency. EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic said a US ban on diesel would be \u201cunexpected\u201d but would have detrimental effects on Europe\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
