The Group of Seven Nations agreed Friday to release 100 million barrels of oil from its stockpiles—following a desperate plea from the White House.
The G7 held an emergency meeting Friday morning to discuss global energy costs. The discussion came in the wake of a pressing call between Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron, during which the U.S. leader asked for assistance amid the current oil crisis and floated the idea of banning U.S. diesel exports, according to CBS Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Margaret Brennan.
Donald Trump announced after the meeting that “Europe has just agreed to release a massive amount of their heavily stocked Diesel Oil. The process will begin immediately.”
The European barrels are expected to hit the market over the next four months.
no, he didn’t beg
he threatened to stop selling US energy to EU
He’d be a moron to do that tbh. Right now the US is massively profiting off the high energy prices. Not its people but its oil companies at least.
He’s bankrupted casinos before so why not his own oil industry
Because the oil industry has enough money and influence to fuck him right back. Unlike his investors in previous projects.
The art of the deal bro. You clearly just aren’t business savvy. 😜
if the goal is to further disrupt the EU then it would be a smart next step
oil prices for Americans are of no consequence anymore too
oil prices for Americans are of no consequence anymore too
Wat
I believe they’re saying that “no one in the USA gov’t cares about the consequences of raising the cost of gas to US consumers”
the Americans have a government that doesn’t need to be elected anymore
they don’t have to care about Americans which is why oil prices for Americans aren’t a problem
we’ll see about that in about a month when the USA has the midterm elections.
But they did. G7 releases emergency reserves - The Guardian
Of course my representatives are cowards like usual. No wonder the far right gains more traction here every day. I’m not fooled by them, but when the actual leadership is this retarded it’s not hard to fool most of the idiots.
“in 4 months” kicking the ball forward until November, …when GTA6 comes out.
What they actually said:
Was gonna do it if no one else did
Donald Trump is a rapist. All this is happening because Donald Trump forced himself on little children.
Prices would plummet tomorrow if he got the fuck out of Iran.
I don’t know about “plummet” as they always seem to fall like a feather if that’s the trend, but you are otherwise right.
Which is fair, because there’s a good chance we’d be back at it in three days.
Also, prices will never be the same, because the risk calculus for the Strait of Hormuz has changed forever. Insurance premiums for shipping through there will never go back down.
Completely agree. I am leaning harder into renewables as the dino-fuel prices will never be what they used to be. Maybe this is the push the world needed…? Sure is ugly though.
One of the few reasons I haven’t installed solar this year is simply that i want to stay close to my savings in case of job loss.
But imagine buying a petrol car in this economy. I’d rather have a used Musk car
I understand. I was able to muster enough to set some solar up and am happy about that. I am due to replace my vehicle and I am no longer looking at petrol autos and instead am trying to tell myself that the loss of privacy going into a newer EV might not be so bad? Maybe…? I do not like the choices, but am fortunate to even have those.
Regarding privacy, I’m pretty sure Google is harvesting all of that through my phone anyway, so I consider it sunk cost.
I will scratch and claw as much as I can, but yah it’s an uphill battle.
I’m not even sure that’s true. It kind of seems like Iran is pressing for regime change in the US: https://img9.irna.ir/d/r2/2026/09/29/0/173138753.pdf

We just need a month for paperwork and stuff, we’ll start around middle of November. Hope this helps!
after the midterms…course he better say thank you, the orange bish
I really hope spinless cowards who runs my home country won’t help him… they will probably help him…
Draining Europe for Putin
And Fotzenfritz bent right over and greased his butthole.
They all should have said no.
Proof Europe wants it to happen. Simple as.
Too bad they all didn’t say “Fuck you”
Well, that will work for 3 days.
Then stop the Iran war, Dementia Don!
Thing is… they folded. I wonder if it has to do with the number of US military bases on EU soil.
