EU fully rejects any ban on diesel, EU spokesperson says

​The ​European Union "fully rejects" ‌the threat ​made by the U.S. ‌to ban diesel exports if Europe does not release more ‌of its fuel stocks, ‌European Commission spokesperson Anna-Kaisa Itkonen said on Friday.

"A ban would ⁠not ​be ⁠beneficial to anyone. It would ⁠undermine our trust in the ​United States as a reliable ⁠partner," she said, adding that ⁠the ​next EU's Oil Coordination Group meeting is scheduled ⁠on Oct. 15, but could ⁠be ⁠brought forward if needed.
