The simplest tell that the US administration is concerned about the level of their own diesel stocks. Probably because gas price increases are speculated in the weeks up to the midterm elections.

    The one positive of Trump is that other countries become determined to get off of fossil fuels.

    If high gas prices are the only way to get rid of this clown, then I am willing to walk everywhere and endure the short export ban (until someone sane replaces him)

    I suspect the global economy is kind of like a chicken running with its head cut off at this point. The energy shortage is structural and cannot be fixed in the near term. And the effects of that have been masked by the fact that tankers were already out when the war started, and took some time to get to their destination, then by countries opening up the reserves. Now both of these amortization measures are exhausted, and we'll see the real price of energy take effect.

    He is trying to temporarily lower diesel prices before the midterm elections.

    What they aren't talking about is that trump also has drained the US strategic petroleum reserve. When they stop drawing that down, things will get really ugly.

    Did I miss a story where France and Germany attacked Iran and interfered with a massive traffic lane of diesel? This is all on the US.

    He probably agreed to release the diesel with the G7 over the last few weeks and this is just grandstanding

    Side note: I’m genuinely curious if any of his sycophants and die-hard fans have any awareness whatsoever of how absolutely transparent the Orange fuckwit is, and how childishly obvious the motives for his actions are. Negotiating with that nonce must be like trying to play chess with a kindergartener who refuses to understand that the game is not, in fact, checkers.
