/ DANGDI / DANGDI / DANGDI /European Union leaders meet on Friday to address soaring diesel prices. Higher diesel prices could soon raise commuting and transport costs across Scandinavia. The meeting follows strong pressure from the United States. Washington urges European allies to release strategic fuel reserves immediately.
US President Donald Trump recently considered banning US diesel exports. EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic warned that an export ban would harm Europe severely. However, both sides agreed to remain in close contact. French officials also noted that a total ban remains unlikely.
Average US diesel prices have jumped over 70 percent recently. The ongoing war with Iran caused fuel prices to spike rapidly worldwide. The European Commission will now coordinate next steps with member states. This report was originally published by The Local.
