Trump's minister appealed to European partners to accelerate the fulfillment of existing obligations and immediately provide additional volumes to address current market disruptions.
Scott Bessent emphasized that American farmers, trucking companies, and businesses should not bear the burden of the global diesel fuel shortage alone.
Furthermore, US President Donald Trump stated that he could demand that European countries use their strategic diesel fuel reserves to lower prices during a conversation with journalists in Dallas (Texas, south).
When asked about this request, the US president said: 'We can do it. They have diesel fuel,' noting that his finance minister, Scott Bessent, had made a similar request previously.
