The International Energy Agency agreed on Thursday afternoon to release over 20 million barrels of diesel to cool soaring fuel prices. The decision accelerates the remainder of a record emergency reserve commitment made earlier in the year. The move comes as United States President Donald Trump pressures European allies to expand stock releases or face potential export restrictions.
