G7 members said after a meeting chaired by French President Emmanuel Macron that they would release up to 100 million barrels of strategic reserves over four months, coordinated through the International Energy Agency, with "a frontloaded substantial diesel release within the first 20 days", Al Jazeera reported. The announcement followed a Truth Social post by President Trump saying Europe had agreed to release diesel stocks. Diesel prices had hit records as shipping through the Strait of Hormuz stayed constrained.
