According to CoinMeta, and as reported by Reuters, the White House has urged the European Union to tap into emergency diesel reserves in order to lower global prices. President Trump and his administration are exploring a range of options with the aim of reducing fuel costs before the mid-term elections in November. The sharp rise in diesel prices has become a major political challenge for Trump and the Republican Party, especially in agricultural states that are crucial for agriculture, trucking, and manufacturing. Faced with demands to ease the pressure of rising living costs before the elections, the Trump administration is considering advocating for foreign countries to release their reserves, restricting U.S. diesel exports, and working with refiners to increase domestic supply. The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
