U.S. Asks EU to Tap Emergency Diesel Reserves for 180 Days

Washington has asked EU governments to release 120 million barrels of diesel from emergency stockpiles over 180 days, Politico reported, more than a third of Europe's reserves. Reuters sources said France and Germany would carry most of the effort, tied to a possible U.S. ban on diesel exports. Trump said Oct. 2 Washington 'may' make the request.
