# US president Donald Trump says he may ask European countries to release some of their diesel reserves amid a global shortage. He has already threatened a ban on exports of US diesel. America is a vital supplier of diesel to the world, exporting between 1.2 and 1.5 million barrels per day. According to reports, Spain and Germany have nearly 400 days’ worth of supplies, while the UK only has about 42. Trump says keeping any surplus barrels of diesel in the US would offer immediate relief at the pumps.
