Since March, about one-sixth of the strategic oil reserves of the member states of the International Energy Agency (IEA) have been released, reports France 24 on Thursday, October 3.
This decision follows several days of requests from the government of Donald Trump, which demanded that European countries release more diesel fuel to meet specific needs.
These strategic reserves were established in anticipation of crises, serving as buffers to stabilize markets in the event of major disruptions.
